Dude, check out #235 and see what I got out of a one sentence deployment ;o)
Just think of what I’d have gotten if I mentioned the thread where the guy claims to have found a UFO landing strip in Antartica with Google Earth!
Awwwwwwwww bess him lil ol heart!
LOL.
You have freepmail.
PD sufferers get more symptomatic the closer one gets to the pathological core. They may put up a temporary front of apparent rationality, but it cracks fairly quickly under pressure.
There are two sets of rules: One governs them and their behavior, the other governs everyone else. For example: If they use insult to wrench a thread out of its course, that’s perfectly all right. But let somebody divert one of THEIR threads and out comes “hijacking”. To them this seems consistent. If others use their precedent, it’s an outrage to them.
It’s unremarkably symptomatic and fits the criteria.
Also, memories and facts are pliable. If pressed, they tend to find some excuse for misremembering and then say that even if what they say is wrong, it’s right in a deeper and more important sense. They think or feel have an inner contact with the truth which and make irrelevant things like facts or reason.
And the expression of their truth simply cannot be accomplished without causing pain to others. The rationalizations and explanations for inflicting pain will shift. But the inflicting of pain will persist. Cursory study of PDs will explain that the purpose of the pain is to get attention. Bad feedback and stimulus beats no feedback or stimulus.
Of course this applies to no one in particular. Heaven forfend. And in all seriousness, I became acquainted with all these behaviors and the needs they serve long before I joined FR.
Thanks for the continued research. Pass on the request for papers, please.
