John Bear A Good Description

[Randall Flagg]

Some time ago I showed some of 'the gangs' posts to an educational psychologist friend. She said she was amazed that such posts were allowed on an Internet forum and that all these individuals appeared to be suffering from a severe dose of psychosis:

Psychosis can take many forms, it can include:

Sensing things that aren't really there (called Hallucinations)
Having beliefs that aren't based on reality (called Delusions)
Problems in thinking clearly (e.g. thought insertion, withdrawal, block, broadcasting)
Not realising that there is anything wrong with themselves (called lack of insight)

Seems to sum up the situation nicely.

They seem to me to be people who have not done as much in life as they think they should have and they intend to take it out on anyone who dares to question anything they say or do. It's a severe case of the guy who fails at his dream and makes the world pay for his unhappiness. They have to earn success and respect, not demand it. Life just doesn't work that way.
