(905 posts)that you saying, "Though you insist that Epstein...can only have been a pure narcissist" is a rather stunning example of the importance of reading comprehension skills, given that I most
most definitely did not insist on anything of the sort in any way whatsoever.
In fact, an actual analysis of what I wrote would lead an unbiased reader not clouded by defensiveness to understand that I doubt Epstein suffered from NPD.
In the interest of not encouraging the practice of gaslighting (which is itself a distinctively narcissistic trait), please reread your own post where YOU not I, definitively pronounced Epstein a "narcissistic sociopath" and proferred that as a primary argument for a suicide theory.
Finally, as I already stated, but am repeating to break through the skim-reading barrier, I myself am unwilling to opine on whether a suicide or a homicide occurred based solely on armchair psycho-analysis issued with sweeping, definitive statements, especially those that are in and of themselves oxymorons. And frankly, to do so is irresponsible.
P.S. A good friend just suggested to me that perhaps you thought my use of the term 'oxymoron' was a personal insult, which it definitely is not. Apparently, or so he insists, many people don't know that this is a grammar term for when someone combines two diametrically opposed ideas in the same proposition. He says most people think the term is synonymous to the derogatory 'moron.' I am so sorry if that is the cause of your misread.
Peace to you.
