|quote=As a professor of electrical engineering who contributed a great deal to WP, I would like to suggest that the members of the APS have a rather unique function to play there. My experience with WP has been fine on very technical matters, but on subjects with popular appeal there are very active and peculiar Talk page discussions that in my case led to eventual expulsion from WP. My take is that there are some rather disturbed individuals that run WP via ArbCom and the cadre of Administrators. I wonder if possibly APS members will be able to devise a useful method to deal with this major defect of WP, which I suspect indeed will raise its head.

| style="padding:15px;" |Most especially, disturbed characters frequently pay little attention to the things that others desperately want them to be more concerned about. ''Inattentive thinking'' frequently accompanies the ''responsibility-avoidance tactic'' of “selective attention.” This tactic is a more deliberate attempt to “tune-out” someone who is trying to make a point, teach them a lesson, or get them to consider something most people regard as important. Disturbed characters will frequently only half-listen or not pay attention at all whenever they hear something they don’t like. Most of the time, the things they find themselves not wanting to hear involve other people’s efforts to get them to submit themselves to pro-social values and standards of conduct. That’s why this erroneous way of thinking is a major reason disordered characters develop a lackadaisical attitude toward accepting social obligations as well as other antisocial attitudes.<div style="padding-left:40px;">— [[George Simon]]<ref name="Simon16122008"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Inattentive Thinking and Character Disturbance |author=George Simon |publisher=Counselling Resource |date=16 Dec 2008 |url=http://counsellingresource.com/features/2008/12/16/inattentive-thinking/ |accessdate=1 Aug 2017}}</ref></div>

Falling victim to [[Ideomotor_effect#People_supposedly_.E2.80.98born_that_way.E2.80.99|LGBT ideomotor effect]] may cause serious character disturbance leading to ''Inattentive Thinking'' and [[Natural_somnambulism#LGBTI_somnambulism|LGBT somnambulism]]. It can be demonstrated at an example of person whose capacity to understand the question on two same-sex partners ''"How can they start family?"'' just evaporates after being corrected that [[adoption]] is basically taking a child from elsewhere/someone else.<ref>{{cite web |title=Defending True Marriage at Penn State University |publisher=TFP Student Action |date= 23 Apr 2014 |pages=0h:50min |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4qEcGxp78A&feature=youtu.be&t=50 |accessdate=1 Aug 2017 |quote=I do not understand the point of your question. - When two women get married, there is no father. -I do not understand the question.}}</ref> According to [[Galileo's maxim]], not having truth at person's side leads to such behavior that persons with ''aggressive personality'' traits try to find a way of not letting the opponent approach because of impossibility to resist his arguments. These attempts may include playing the fool, evasion, or diversion. On the other hand, people with ''assertive personality'' traits have no problem to correct their own error or [[ABC_Theory_of_Emotion#The_Extended_model|irrational beliefs]] and are thankful to opponent for being challenged and for getting a chance to improve their views and attitudes.<ref>{{cite book |title=Metodický materiál k predmetu Etická výchova (Methodological material on subject of Ethics Education) |publisher=Metodicko-pedagogické Centrum v Prešove |place=Prešov |year=2004 |pages=92+ |url=http://www.mcpo.sk/downloads/Publikacie/Vychova/VPETV200601.pdf |quote=Asertívne správanie je jasné, priame, snaží sa vyjadriť to, čo chce, aby ho druhí pochopili.
