Those are good points, Alex, as usual.I'd like to point out, though, that NotFred -- whose name always intrigues me, because my mother used to call me Fred sometimes ;-) -- was not saying that anyone here was a sociopath, had ASPD, or even that the definitions were correct. He posted the definitions.
In his earlier post on the subject, I believe he was expressing his own hurt at his own perception of possibly receiving an intimation that the definition applied to him. I don't think he was intimating that it applied to anyone else.
This is all just me, you know, trying to pour some oil on these troubled waters. It's extra virgin olive oil, so you're getting the good stuff. ;-)
