Just curious, avoiding the obviously simply stupid, how many regular members of a2k do you think are psychotic under the definitions of the DSM? I'm guessing about 6 to 10.

I would guess, about 68%.

actually I'm thinking very few posters are actually psychotic. I think the ones I mostly dislike are just stupid.

No, not really, I'm thinking there are only about 6 to 10 really psychotic posters (mostly the ones that think sex with children is ok)

Oh, you mean the hard cases. Yes, I am actually glad that there aren't
many more of this kind.

I guess I missed those threads. I agree that they have to be psychotic to think such thoughts about children.

I guess I'm just acronymly-challenged, not stupid or psychotic...


What does DSM stand for?

Ah, thanks Reg. Took me awhile to figure out what the overused MSM stood for. Figured DSM must have been something similar such as Down Stream Media. Wink

Ditto. However, I think they have to be more than psychotic to have those thoughts. It is beyond my comprehension.

There was a time, around the last one-third of the 1900s, when homosexuality was classified in the DSM as a mental disorder of some kind. That is no longer the case.

But extrapolating from that dynamic, I wonder which mental disorders currently so classified in the DSM will in future be reclassified as normal behavior.

and i wonder what normal behaviors will in the future be reclassified as mental disorders. good thing the far right doesn't write the dsm, or lack of patriotism (also known as thinking for yourself,) religious tolerance, and science would be classified as mental disorders.

Psychotic is extreme. I can think of two (or three or four) I'd classify in this category. There are others that seem disturbed, but I don't think I'd classify them as psychotic.

Then you've got your run-of-the-mill meshuginas.

And, yes, the stoopids.
