Right. Who was it that threatened a lawsuit to assure his "right" to harass his chosen target? Now THAT'S obsession. I think it comes under DSM-IV section 2.5.8.6, "Scum of the earth disease".

You have opened the most productive door! The DSM! It had never occurred to me to check it out as a source of insight into your continuing delusional condition involving a scenario that you fantasied occurred on SI between you and Poet shortly after you won the right via legal, er, mentionings, to post to her against her will. Look what I found. I hope this information will be of some assistance in your pursuit of reality. Some excerpts, from DSM III and IV. First, some categories I believe would help you with that pesky delusions problem you have regarding Poet: V61.9 Relational Problem Related to a Mental Disorder or General V62.89 Borderline Intellectual Functioning V62.89 Religious or Spiritual Problem [Inner Light went out] V65.2 Malingering [this would be the alternative explanation to delusion: you have evidence that the scenario occurred, but are too lazy to share it with us] V71.01 Adult Antisocial Behavior There is so much there, thank you!... Psychopathology... Harmful Dysfunction... delirium... disturbances of cognition and perception... perceptual disturbances... memory deficit... But the one I believe you should sit down with your wife and family doctor to discuss is the one below, and I say this because I care about you every bit as much as you do about me, what with all those wonderful memories we share. Could "wonderful" may be overstating it a bit? It was fun, though. I miss Edwarda very much. But of course that was before you had a complete personality and character change. Which takes me back to the DSM: Judge for yourself how close to this disordered condition you have come, given your stated belief in events that can be objectively verified never to have occurred: Perceptual disturbances may include misinterpretations, illusions, or hallucinations. For example, the patient may see the nurse mixing intravenous solutions and conclude the nurse is trying to poison him or her (misinterpretation); A patient with delirium may have a delusional conviction of the reality of a hallucination and exhibit emotional and behavioral responses consistent with the hallucination's content. As for me, while you seek help consistent with your needs, I shall do as you suggest and smell a flower. I asked my hubby about whether I could additionally look for that "good man" you prescribe, figuring you must mean an extra, but he absolutely insists he will have to do, the selfish fellow.
