There is a theory that one way of diagnosing socipaths is whether they can look in the loo after they've unburdened themselves. It suggests that they can't acccept their discharge as evidence of their essential humanity, their ordinariness etc.


Alan started removing his posts because just weeks before the crash he had pugnaciously been arguing that the housing boom would go on for ever, that he would be a millionnaire soon, that buy-to-let was a great way to line your pockets, and that everyone else who couldn't see that was completely stupid.


As property prices tumbled and people started losing their jobs he couldn't face the evidence of his own hubris, so he deleted every comment he made.


I suspect that he now does it for a joke - which may or may not be evidence of the fact that he's currently much more relaxed and happier with himself.

    • Brian came to repaint my bathroom and over the course of the few days he was there he was efficient, kind, and very conscientious, cleaning up at the end of every day and going above and beyond to provide a fantastic service. The paint has held up great - much better than before! Thank you Brian!
    • Those studies are ten years old. I wonder if there is anything more recent. Also, I haven't looked at them, but from what you say,  the studies apparently asked people if THEY thought they were "racially prejudiced". For several  reasons, on the face of it that isn't likely to produce an accurate indication of the level of actual racial prejudice in that sample. Also, how was "racial prejudice" defined? And "racist attitudes"?
    • I'd say hold on to it in case you need it. There may be a time when it helps you get around more easily. You'd know if that's easily done, if you've got somewhere to park it etc
