The Internet is written by insane people

Reddit: Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People:

Edit: I guess my tone-projection is off. A lot of people seem to be put-off by my usage of the word "insane." I intended that as tongue-in-cheek and did not mean to imply that any of them literally have diagnosable mental illnesses. I have a lot of respect for all of the individuals I listed and they seem like nice people, I was just trying to make a point about how unusual their behavior is.

How does one refer to a strange, weird or bizarre individual who is not suffering from a mental illness without offending those who do suffer from mental illness? Or is strange, weird or bizarre behavior always indicative of some degree of mental illness?
