Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric
Association's Axis II (personality disorders) of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual (DSM-IV-TR) as "...a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation
of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and
continues into adulthood."[1]
There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of
others occurring for as long as either childhood, or in the case of many who
are influenced by environmental factors, around age 15, as indicated by three
or more of the following:
failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as
indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others
for personal profit or pleasure;
impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead;
irritability and aggression, as indicated by repeated physical fights or
assaults;
reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain
consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
lack of remorse, as indicated by indifference to or rationalizing having hurt,
mistreated, or stolen from another.
Doesn't this list remind you of the poster buyer Andrew/Tom?
Do we know for sure that this person Tom Price even exists? I think its highly
more likely that its Andrew creating another personality to continue the
conversation while also distancing himself from direct attack. Its very common
on Listservs for this type of psychotic behavior to occur.
The truly pathetic thing about this display is that it destroys the true value
of Andrew's collection of movie posters.
No matter what he owns, if he is this crazy then no one in the community will
give him any respect. Without that respect then he is nothing. So why post this
stuff in the first place? What does he expect to accomplish?
Why would anyone deal with him now? Does anyone really want to get the same
treatment as other people who sold to him in good faith only to see themselves
trashed?
No amount of money is worth that.
So his world effectively shrinks to himself and the separate personalities that
he creates. A mirrored funhouse of a life.
When Tom/Andrew looks into that mirror he must imagine they are all
laughing, but they are not laughing at others, Tom/Andrew.
Not at other people.
Its deeply sad really.
