Every individual is an individual, and no label is ever going to be the whole story.

It's on a continuum Don. There is a significant range of behavior from one end of the continuum to the other. From simple traits and tendencies, to full blown clinical characterological disorganization. And it's an emotional problem, so depending on the level of emotional disorganization from day to day, one can appear more or less disordered...more or less in control of themselves. But I guarantee you this guy is on that continuum and on it at a point where it's intractable. Some of the most difficult and problematic narcissists I've ever run into in 20 years of work, were able to present themselves as generally in control of themselves when necessary...along with being obsessively driven to control everybody else as well.

But when somebody starts putting up giant side scrolling pictures and tells everybody that he's gonna deluge the forum with more of the same until everybody starts giving him only the feedback he believes he deserves...that's all I need to hear. It is what it is...and it ain't a label when it's accurate.

How many 5 below's does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one. He stands underneath the ceiling fixture holding the bulb, and the world revolves around him.
