I'm sure most of you have seen the Geek Social Fallacies list that's been circulating on the Internet for about a decade. This is an excellent list, but it has one crucial omission, one that I see in geek/nerd social circles just as much of the ones on his list, and sometimes even more: just because someone is nice to you doesn't automatically mean they're a good person.
I'mnot sure that's a purely 'geeky' phenomenon
Yeah, that's just being human.
In fact, people who are artificially nice to you are probably more likely to be weird or up to something bad.
Which also somewhat explains why we actually do need to regulate this kind of stuff severely. If we are to have 14-year olds posting here we can't allow psychos to prey on them.
