>This dismissal of people as "unhinged", "cultish", and "lack of mental balance" at best unsympathetic and at worst callous. It seems to me all these problems at Basecamp could have been avoided in the first place if these people were dismissed for their unhinged and cultish behavior as soon as they started to exhibit it. If they are suffering some sort of mental trauma the proper place to address that is therapy, not at work.
