Strange also comes from your expectation or inexperience!...
The word strange... (my best so far on it).
Strange is often what is simply inexperienced or not expected by the person saying it. An unknown to them as a happening or expectation.
So the next time you hear 'strange' or speak it yourself think about these things in these things in the context.
- level of experience
- level of diversity in life
- level of expectation
- level of a few other things
Strange if you say it means you have not seen it before or it's not your normal or it's creating different feelings inside yourself which is strange or 'difficult' for you to see, say or explain or something never expected or witnessed before.
STRANGER?
Changing it slightly to stranger:
A stranger is no long stranger after you talk to them a bit or simply feel ok in yourself with them around. The feeling is also yours, where some people feel good with strangers, others not.
SUMMARY
If you keep your distance always from the 'strange' or from 'strange' people or 'strangers' then that also always KEEPS them strange because, often because you didn't do the work in getting to know or practise the steps in feeling comfortable in yourself or just bold (as shown in the picture for both feeling).

@freeschool, seems you are as usually are writing something bizzare, both text and picture defying human logic.
Let's look at the picture.
A man, his shadow, and the shadow says it is related to your site. The man is runing away from the shadow. On the next picture the man is fighting the shadow with his sword. Does it mean he is fighting your site and decided to do it as he is not afraid anymore? (Shadow does not look friendly at all, so is your site unfriendly too?)
Now about the text
"Strange" just means "different". Different from what you have seen before. It may be good and may be bad. So, you should be careful with "strange". There are several things you can do. Avoid it so it can't hurt or test its properties to find out more about it or interact with it...

It's common people don't know someone else's style or have to learn it first to see how others write (it's not all the same way for different people).
In this case it's easier as the picture helps to understand it (your last sentence is very good for it) and also some extra comments below for the concept of the picture explained a bit more;
Left side: I am suggesting that the strange or scary unknown is my website (for those that have the perspective to be scared or not learn about what it is)
- Right side: Someone expecting to learn or taking the positive approach (not that it's 'spam' or spyware or 100 thing many sites are not) and take the education side... The man is fighting *with my site* where as scared / non-confident people feed the fear (left side of picture).

Summary
-----------
Modern people can be so scared that they are literally 'scared of their own shadow'.
Also people are scared of freedom naturally (even me) like opening the door of a trapped animal which might not be sure if it's another trap or does not know how to survive without being pessimistic or hesitating and over everything people are doing now in the world other than being more free in the mind and more following others)
I liked a lot what you said and at the end you summarise the picture well when you said:
"So, you should be careful with "strange". There are several things you can do. Avoid it so it can't hurt or test its properties to find out more about it or interact with it..."
