The Paranoia Disease.

[Meiscool-2]

It isn't paranoia if they're actually out to get you.

[Vlad Shadeu]

We are out to get them??? 0.0

[Grandy]

Dude, thats the dictionary DEFINITION OF PARANOIA. I'm not kidding, they mean, as far as i know, EXACTLY the same thing.

 I thpught paranoia was more like fearing something rather than merely thinking it may go wrong.

–noun 1. Psychiatry. a mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions and the projection of personal conflicts, which are ascribed to the supposed hostility of others, sometimes progressing to disturbances of consciousness and aggressive acts believed to be performed in self-defense or as a mission. 
2. baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others. 

That is the dictionary definition. what you said fits perfectly.

[Archem]

He sure showed you.

[drenrin2120]

I wouldn't say that definition fits perfectly. If anything, we're simply cautious of others because we know the warning signs of n00bs. Cautious IS borderline paranoia, but paranoia is described as a "mental disorder" or "systematized delusions". I am doubtful that anyone on charas is scared shitless to log on unless the supposed n00b is battered into the state of outcast via firing squad.

[Meiscool-2]

r i teh firing squad?

[Uberpwn_w00t]

You and a few other people. I'm the smashing squad.

[drenrin2120]

You and a few other people. I'm the smashing squad.

No. You are not. There's no need after Meiscool.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Suit yourself. (I do have the mallet, though.)

EDIT: Here is the definition, figured it went here:

par·a·noi·a 
–noun 1. Psychiatry. a mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions and the projection of personal conflicts, which are ascribed to the supposed hostility of others, sometimes progressing to disturbances of consciousness and aggressive acts believed to be performed in self-defense or as a mission. 
2. baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others. 

Original Post: After the mironic "casualty" (or "blessing" based on your perspective) and my experiences, as well as the other guy who did a "i'm leaving because you are mean" thread in the far past (and mentioned it on the moronic thread.) I begin to wonder: What causes these assumptions? i know you guys aren't jerks, for i have been around for awhile, i have a post count over 200, but seriously, WHY does everyone think we are jerks?

....who .....are you?

Maybe Vlad is the paranoid one then... Just like shinotebasiiackh said.

I WAS the paranoid one, thats what is making me say this all. i've been in the state that two other members (at least) have already felt that they were hated or that people we being mean to them when they werent. Now i've been here and know you guys are my friends (even though Archem probably doesn't think i'm his, based on the way hes been talking to me recently.)
