^I like you! You're fun! ;)

And I do apologise for jumping to conclusions; I SHOULD have asked you to clarify what you meant, but.......well, I've seen many (MANY) messages like that, from the "Scott should never ever kill because killing is wrong! Duh! Logic!" crowd (not to trivialise their point of view, but......well, it's not particularly bright to back yourself into a corner like that, with harsh black and white moralising), and at first glance your comment appeared to be one of those.

You know, on the checklist, we had things that could be interpreted as "well, Scott became a True Alpha because he was such a nice guy, so obviously he's GOT to be a great leader and worthy of his position" and "Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly similar to these mentally ill people! 'Cause only crazy people could ever think that killing could be the right course of action!".

Granted, on receiving your SECOND message, you ensured that I would never think of you in such simplistic terms again (so...uh....congratulations, I guess?), but I'm sure you can see how I could have reacted with a knee-jerk scolding?

And THANK YOU! So many people use the word interchangeably with "bad person who did bad things", when it's FAR more complex than that........seriously, I (and a couple others on here) are constantly correcting that little psychological misconception. Nobody seems to understand the difference between a psychopath or a sociopath these days......let alone differentiate between that and everything else that falls under the overarching banner of ASPD.

Finally, yes, I can be a condescending ass. But I DO like it when others call me out for it; means they're not pushovers. Also, saves me from embarassment in future. So......thanks, and thank god you understand debate, and....uh....ciao, I suppose?
