I could reply to your message in full, but you don't know how to write or
quote properly, so your message comes out like one big blob of diarrhea
from your brain. You ramble about things that you truly believe, but the
problem is that they only exist in your mind. You are no challenge to me,
and reading your ramblings is getting very boring very fast.
: P.S. Checkmate.
To checkmate someone, you have to first know how to play, and you don't.
[I notice that you don't put your email address on your messages, which
only confirms my thoughts. I stand behind every word that I say, and I'll
put my email address on it to prove it. It's obvious that you are too
embarrassed to put your email address on the messages.]
:I also would like to thank you for the trip down memorylane because my writings show I have balls the size of Jupitor, that my mind is such a tremendous force when I speak my words are propelled far beyond the confines of this board reaching all kinds of people and so alive that they divide and multiply as I am repeatedly and numerously quoted like no other person here.
:If it was an a$$ whipping on the board you wanted, then an a$$ whipping you have recieved.
The only thing you have given me is concrete proof that you are in need
of mental treatment. You have a personality disorder, this is clear to me.
I am embarrassed to have said that I laughed at your comments from before,
since it is inappropriate to laugh at someone with a Personality Disorder.
You have my humble apologies, since I did not know until now that you are
affected in this fashion. Now I understand why you felt my high level of
intelligence was so threatening that you needed to attack it with insults.
The important thing to note is that YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME! It also doesn't
make you any less of a person...! I want to help... I really do!
Let me give you more information.
It's called "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" and is an uncommon disorder
which is why I didn't pick up on it earlier. The symptoms are as follows..
=====
Narcissistic Personality Disorder Symptoms
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for
admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present
in a variety of contexts, as indicated by over four of the following:
(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates
achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without
commensurate achievements)
(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance,
beauty, or ideal love
(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be
understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people
(4) requires excessive admiration
(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of
especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her
expectations
(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to
achieve his or her own ends
(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings
and needs of others
(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him
(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

I think it would be foolish to deny this, as that will only make the road
to recovery a harder one to travel. I have identified at least 6 from the
above list, and they describe you to a tee. This is a REAL illness. I did
not make this up. Please understand that I want to help you.
Let's examine this illness further...
=====
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Psychosocial Treatment - Basic Principles:
Narcissistic patients try to sustain an image of perfection and personal
invincibility for themselves and attempt to project that impression to
others as well. Physical illness may shatter this illusion, and a patient
may lose the feeling of safety inherent in a cohesive sense of self. This
loss precipitates a panicky sensation that "my world is falling to pieces,"
and the patient feels a sense of personal fragmentation.
The histrionic patient's idealization of the physician stands in contrast
to the narcissistic patient's frequent contemptuous disregard for the
physician, who is denigrated in a defensive effort to maintain a sense of
superiority and mastery over illness. Only the most senior physician in a
prestigious institution is deemed worthy of respect as the frightened
patient seeks an external reflection of his or her own fragile grandeur
in the doctor. More junior members of the health care team may be the
targets of derision as the patient seeks to establish hierarchical
dominance in order to counter the shame and fear triggered by illness.
Health care professionals must convey a feeling of respect and acknowledge
the patient's sense of self-importance so that the patient can reestablish
a coherent sense of self, but they must at the same time avoid reinforcing
either pathologic grandiosity (which may contribute to denial of illness)
or weakness (which frightens the patient). An initial approach of support
followed by step-by-step confrontation of the patient's vulnerabilities
may enable the patient to deal with the implications of illness with
feelings of greater subjective strength. The increased self-confidence may
reduce the patient's need to attack the health care team in a misguided
effort at psychologic self-preservation and eases the pressure to provide
perfect care, since the patient's antagonistic feeling of entitlement
(defined by DSM-III as an "expectation of special favors without assuming
reciprocal responsibilities") is reduced.

I do hope you are mature enough not to simply dismiss this. If you want
to get better, you have to accept this, and ask for help from someone.
Please check out the link below for more information on treatment.
Also, please let me know if I can be of any help. I do have a great deal
of knowledge in this and other areas. This is a treatable illness.
Sincere Regards,
