I take your point, maybe I shouldn't have brought that up. However, RL hoards snippets of personal information like a squirrel. He never misses an opportunity to call people by their real names to demonstrate some sort of control. He's made a few snide remarks about how my kids must be fucked up because of my lousy parenting.
I don't think he was trying to help Spades when he brought up his seeing a psychiatrist, he was doing it to put pressure on Spades to conform. To think in the same way as RL, for he is Reasoning Logic after all, he must be right, everything he says is so reasoned and logical.
Considering the amount of psychobabble RL throws out it was hardly a revelation that he'd seen a psychiatrist, he just confirmed what was obvious anyway. Let's not forget he's an American, a country with 20% of the world's population that consumes 80% of the world's painkillers. They go into psychotherapy all the time for any old gripe, and then they think that gives them the right to pontificate on how the rest of us should follow suit. Not only that they start spouting psychobabble, because after such a profound moment of self awareness they 'know' the truth.
RL was quite happy to keep quiet when the bigoted narcissist started spreading lies. He didn't concern himself with the truth then, he was quite happy seeing Spades vilified. Actually, he quite enjoyed, it because he thinks we should all believe in his simplistic brand of atheism. Spades was fair game, a thought criminal, ripe and ready for roasting. RL accused me of spewing hate when I stood up for Spades, because there is nothing but absolutes and extremes in his world. If you don't agree with RL you're a sociopath/psychopath, and you probably harbour desires to enslave people and start eating human flesh, when you're not drunk that is.
At the end of the day RL knows Spades is delusional because everything RL says is reasoned and logical. He can never be wrong, because then he wouldn't be RL. He knows the truth and that gives him the right to tell the rest of us what to think. Because he's always right, anyone who doesn't agree with him is a sociopath/psychopath or drunk.
Spades may well be deluded, but at least it's a big delusion, something you can get your head around, and most importantly he accepts he may be deluded. RL's delusion is far more deep rooted, he knows what's right for all of us. Nobody else's name is boastful and suggests that what they say is beyond reproach. His does though, and he acts as if he knows the truth in a way the rest of us can only dream of. We have no alternative, but to listen to him, and do what he says.
But what really makes all of this stick in my craw is that he's so bloody stupid. He never picks up on anything, things have to be explained over and over again, and he still doesn't understand.
