Sounds like they want an Internet ID so they can track you down if you say something they don’t like.

To protect us, of course.

Well, I don’t know about all this. They say certain traits are associated with psychopaths, and then they say CEOs, who must have had to work with people and plan ahead, as well as avoiding certain bad behaviors, are psychopaths! Same with surgeons.

I feel like either their diagnostics or their applications are off somehow.

The APA voted in 1974 that homosexuality would no longer be considered a mental disorder. 1974 was a very bad year.
So today we have specimens like ‘Rachel’ Levine, Sam Brinton, Tyler Cherry and US Representative McBride appearing in public in dresses and insisting we call them “ma’am”.
I rest my face. (muttering fiendishly)

This has been widely known for years, but might as well read this official narrative on the subject...

They determined this from reading posts on the internets?
Including the two factors that involve acts of physical violence?

I confidently state that these psychiatrists who did the study are sociopaths.

Well, I guess that I'm in the clear then, insofar as I didn't start those behaviors until age 16 years.

There are plenty of psychopaths and sociopaths among humans, and the internet gives them a means by which they can act out their worst inclinations anonymously.

There is a category of online game players, for example, known as “grief players”, whose sole goal is to ruin the game for everyone else. South Park did an amusing episode on this with regards to World of Warcraft, where a mystery player had gotten himself to a very powerful lever, and just went around killing all of the lower players for the hell of it.

I believe this calls for a picture of Captain Obvious on this thread. Didn’t we already know this? I mean, how many people do we see in real life who are more interested in making enemies than making friends? That’s my definition of an Internet troll.
