There are people with psychological disabilities, who sometimes do not behave rationally. One particularly impressive disability is for example Tourette's syndrome.[1] The best thing you can do is to not take what they do and say seriously/literally, IOW, to take what they do and say with many grains of salt. Of course all this is more difficult to perceive with people who behave irrationally only at times, and is also more difficult to perceive on a mailing list.
