Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.
I hardly think this is the case.
When it comes to opinions, there is no middle ground, as it is human nature to be biased. The moment you have a thought that pushes you towards a certain stance, you can no longer call yourself unbiased. Because of that, it is only logical to assume that, given a list of topics pertaining to a particular subject, someone undoubtedly will share an opinion with someone else.
I would also refrain from calling this an act of acceptance. That would connote behaviour akin to something one would see in a personal, face-to-face setting. The benefit of the internet is that, to almost everyone, you're just an avatar and a username. I, and, in all likelihood, the vast majority of other users, have made friends on this site. However, I have no reason to try and act "cool" for their amusement.
By that same token, I also have no reason to treat people rudely, either. While I don't know every user personally, any user can learn a lot about him or her by the content of his or her posts. Because of this, it is my opinion that calling the actions of the forum population "autistic" and that they spew "hatred about groups [they] know nothing about" is probably not a good way to go about making friends or leaving something other than a notorious first impression on other users.
