Vince,

you must have mistaken something from this study. The characteristical thing in
a psychopath is NOT what you describe. That he is dedicated to the making of
profit, because then we must define all dedicated people this way. Every genius
then is by definition a psychopath. What a psychopath knows best and is forced
to do that is no matter of the facts, science, rights of other people, he must
all do in HIS very prejudiced, troubled, twisted, false, shaky, irrational,
hate-filled, negative, unemotional, ice-cold, manical, but also ingenious and
talented and smart style.

The best book I've read in the last 15 years is the also filmed "American
Psycho" from the American author Bret Easton Ellis, of course here a crime, and
as a matter of fact a very extreme case-study. Perhaps the main aspect is his
stunning emotional coldness for other people's sorrow and suffering. To be right
on the point, nobody with that charecteristic would be hospitalised or taken
under custody until the person really runs out of control.

Let me finally mention that from online experienceds alone it is absolutely
impossible to diagnose such a personality. More, if you had wanted to insinuate
the slightest badness in our actual shooting star, you were absolutely and 100%
wrong. Look, Vasik is so friendly, civilised, sophisticated, humorous,
distanced, well-mannered, that I really see no similarity with the description I
offered about the psychiatric syndrom. I hope for your own sanity that you dont
waste your time in that direction! Please.

Rolf
