Trouble
Sometimes you seem so aptly-named. Mind games may be fine if 2 are playing (knowingly), but I think they're pretty insensitive otherwise, and in this setting, where you really don't know your "competitor," potentially dangerous.
I also don't understand your point that this forum is a place where those games should be expected because we all know the human mind so well. The list of illnesses that afflict people on this Board is pretty extensive and the degree of severity varied. I think it's a huge mistake to draw too many conclusions about the population beyond that. It's probably far safer to assume a level of sensitivity and vulnerability that may make many of us unwilliing participants in any but the most innocent of mind games.
