I found the definition of Psychosis most interesting.

[slamlander]

Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind or soul, and -οσις "-osis", for abnormal condition), with adjective psychotic, literally means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". People suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic

Given that post, I'd like to see you look up 'Sociopathy'. You'll be unable to see why I think it fits you, but hey, I might be lucky.

I did here.
While I may be a Centrist and a Secularist, I fail to see how that makes me a Sociopath. Were you offended by the rather radical statement I made?

One part of that statement is very true; I really do not see much difference between the radical Christians and the radical Muslims. One would burn me at a stake, as a heretic, and the other would cut my throat, for insulting Islam. To me personally, that is effectively no difference. Well, the latter would be quicker and less painful about it.

That was written mostly toungue-in-cheek, Taco. Especially, the last part.

*damn, I need to remember the grins next time* :)

I have to seriously apologize.

[slamlander]

You've just brought me back to ground by pointing out that I've just done something that I hold the other side accountable for all the time. In frustration, I lashed out in anger and hate, complete with unintended consequences. That I caught a friend [you] in in the maelstrom is something that I deeply regret

No pain, just momentary disappointment which has now been corrected. I tend to forget that not everyone is as intimately familiar with unreliable brain as I am.
