Bill,

Thanks, I guess you know the deal. However I didn't post this in order to start a tit-for-tat sort of thing. When unfounded rumors start flying all I know to do is either dismiss them entirely or address them concisely with the facts. Intelligent people can decide for themselves.

Morris said he'll go all day in the booth, doing anything you want one-on-one. We're very fortunate to have someone of his caliber teaching at the Expo. He really enjoys it and every time we talk he mentions how friendly and attentive the rod builders are to him.

Tom, there is a very unhealthy and even potentially dangerous obsession going on here. This woman’s business website is mostly about you. Her forum is mostly about you. Her blog is all about you. At least one out of every three posts she makes anywhere is either about you or references you within long epistles. As a person with a professional background in the mental health field, I would strongly advise you to talk to your local police and at least make them aware of this situation. This type of obsession coupled with sociopathy and/or malignant personality disorder can and often does result in a situation that can have serious consequences for the person being obsessed over. I know your practice is to blow such things off, but this woman has a very unnatural and disturbing obsession with you and I would advise you to speak to someone in a position of authority about it. This could be a serious matter.

FWIW at this point, this is a good overall view of the person you are dealing with:

Characteristics of a Sociopath

Manipulating
A sociopath has a brain. Sadly, a sociopath never uses the brain for any positive use. They believe that much can be achieved by conning and manipulating others. Hence, with a thought like that, sociopaths waste time in convincing others about their malicious ideas. They do so by putting on their charm and with a clever play of words. They victimize the other person as though he is an object to be used for implementing cruel intentions.

Incapacity for Feelings or Emotions
This is the main, yet hidden sociopath characteristics. A sociopath has no scope for emotions or feelings. They only make a superficial exhibition of their emotions. They do laugh, cry, get angry and depressed momentarily. The underlying reason for this superficiality is, they live in their own world and have their own set of morals. They are often ruled by a belief that their actions bear no consequence whatsoever, and they are not accountable to anyone. Incapacity for feelings and emotions allow a sociopath to elude responsibility for actions by placing the blame on others.

Compulsive Liars
Sociopaths have a boundless capacity to lie. It all begins when they lie once to hide a mistake, and then continue lying to cover the earlier lies. As they are incapacitated to feelings and emotions, they do not understand the impact of compulsively lying. If they are caught lying, sociopaths are clever at changing the subject by blaming someone else and crawling clean out of the mess. Often, sociopaths are so clever at lying, that they pass lie detector tests too. Which is why, they rarely end up in prisons. And who thought sociopaths were out of brains!

Shallow Emotions
A sociopath does not have emotions is true. But a sociopath has shallow emotions is equally true. Shallow emotions is faking show of warmth, joy, appreciation and motivation towards others to satisfy the ulterior motives. These sociopath traits make them seem emotionally strong. They remain cold and do not show reactions to what may cause a normal person to react. They make promises to others to get their job done. However, they are fake, and so are their promises.

Impulsive Nature
The logic of thinking twice before you do anything or say anything, does not exist with a sociopath. They get so overwhelmed by a certain idea, to which they react impulsively. These actions are always driven by a devious acumen, such as cheating, stealing and lying. The excitement of doing the act is so great, that they jump on the opportunity which leads them into shady acts.

Parasitic Living
Amongst the characteristics of sociopaths, their parasitic nature is very evident. They act like leeches that cling on to every body to suck out its blood and life. They do so, to find an accomplice to their actions. To get their plans done, they get hold of people closest to them, so that they can conveniently slip out the act when desired and then place the blame on others. They often wrap themselves in the flag, or use patriotism as a shield against criticism.

Radiating Charm
Sociopaths have a beautiful charm about themselves, which is good enough to cover up all their devilish acts. They are very amusing, carefree and lively. These are the traits that draws a person to them. They often win the admiration from others and can make the crowd gawk at them.

Egocentric
Sociopaths indulge in bragging about themselves like there's no tomorrow. They firmly believe that what they are doing is absolutely right and there's no way they would do anything wrong. They are self-assured about themselves. This leads them to making highly preposterous and unrealistic plans about life, making money, marriage and living. Sociopaths fail to understand why others around them are so against them.

No Guilt
Whether it's a murder, robbery, lie or any other criminal act, a sociopath feels no guilt whatsoever. They can never empathize with others and neither can they feel guilt for blaming others. They have an amoral world of their own. They lie to an extent where room for guilt gets occupied by self-made reality. They often believe that the pain inflicted on the other person was deserved by them. Many criminal sociopaths are often seen giving such explanations.

Regularly Seen Sociopath Characteristics
• Early behavior problems, which are seen as juvenile delinquency and referred to as sociopath characteristics in children.
• Indulging in crime of slander.
• Promiscuous behavior and infidelity.
• Entrepreneurial crime mindset.
• Authoritarian and secretive.
• Cheap goal setting, like enslavement of victims.
Irrespective of it being female sociopath characteristics or male sociopath characteristics, all sociopaths are immoral imbeciles, who do not discover their conscience. They have to be treated and dealt with as early as possible, to avoid unnecessary turmoil in the lives of people related to them. At the end of it, to rehabilitate them, it is important to accept them as diseased part of the society, and make an effort to treat these social liabilities.
