Thanks to Barry for explaining so thoroughly why we should consider him a narcissist, an obsessive, and bat-shit crazy. We all knew this instinctively, but it's nice to have it all laid out so clearly.

Actually, the definition of "liar" used around here is one who says things he knows to be untrue with the intent of deceiving others. Has nothing to do with having different "beliefs" or "opinions," it has to do with deliberately misrepresenting facts. Bat-shit crazy liars tend to tell meta-lies. They try to defend their shaky self-image by maintaining that the lies they tell are just opinions or just beliefs, even that there are no such things as "facts." They think this gives them license to tell all the lies they want without being known as a liar. But since nobody sane would find it convincing, it pretty much defines them as bat-shit crazy.
