It's Nature's Balance for Pugs...

He wants to take the credit for EVERYTHING so...
He must the blame for absolutely NOTHING.

Pugs has recently made the discovery that organized crime has penetrated (or should I say "permeated"?) the pennystock market. Of course anyone with an interest in these things knew that years ago, but Pugs is trying to take credit just as he's trying to take credit for busting Mike Sylver. He's read A Book: The Laundrymen. And so absolutely everything he encounters, in his "real" life or on the boards, must perforce be related to organized crime and money laundering.

Wow! Talk about a dead-on assessment of Pugs! The problem is getting him to understand he needs some serious help (as detailed in the article "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments" apa.org. Any ideas?

Your mother obviously enjoyed escaping into different worlds. Ain't that what books are for?
Non-fiction, that is.
Pugs, on they other hand, goes a tad further. He becomes the book. Does he truly believe what he reads & writes? So long as it suits his needs.

Perhaps your Mom felt her life was at times, a bit stale. She varied it for some excitememt. Although it probably was annoying at times, I'm sure it was harmless.
Pugs doesn't do that. He's on a seek-and-destroy mission.
Look at some of the more notorious killers of our time. Where'd they get their inspiration from?
Books!!
Books can be a positive influence, or a negative influence. Its all in the "MIND".
