Everything else seems like excuses to me to disrespect them or to blame people for putting up boundaries.

Ah, but I was respectful initially, and yet was met with blatant rudeness. Only two people kindly asked me to leave, and that was long after the first insults and the suggestion that I kill myself. If you would like respect, you must give it. Ethic of reciprocity and all that... All in all, the conversation went something like this...
"Hello, I'm Michael, a psychopath. I'd like to comment on this..."
"Oh, it's the slimy spath. He has no life."
"What a wanker."
"
It is here again."
"Red flag #5 billion: He sucks ****"
"Oh, how I would like to kill a spath."
"Say, if a spath wants to feel something authentic, I'd recommend it to shoot itself in the head."
"Thank you for commenting. Could you leave, please."
Hmmm..... Now you imagine, for a moment, using your amazing skills of empathy, that you were me. Actually, you can do this without having to imagine. Just create an account at Lovefraud.com the blog and sign "Regards, Michael D." after whatever you decide to write.

So, you disagree with source material on your disorder? I do understand how source material on psychopathy in general may be upsetting. And it must be difficult to reason the source material is not about you. After all, the disorder would involve narcistic traits within you and therefore an innate difficulty to regard it as not being 'just' about you. Is not the source material the reason why you have been diagnozed with the disorder in the first place? And unfortunately the diagnosis cannot have been made without a history research and research of questionnaires filled in by people in your environment.

Heavens no.
Truthful source material doesn't upset me at all. I agree with the vast majority of Hare's work, and it was Hare's source material that got me diagnosed. The only issue I take with his studies is the sample, considering most of the participants were prisoners, who have another mindset entirely. But sensationalized BS that has no scientific backing whatsoever is infuriating, especially when my moronic neighbour (God rest him), knowing I'm a psychopath, incessantly harassed me and my wife and slandered my name. Later, he recommended the book and site LoveFraud to my wife, encouraging her to "take the kids and run." So, I know that site isn't written about me specifically. But it does affect me specifically.
I own my diagnosis. I know I'm a psychopath. But some of the asinine comments made about my disorder are just... ridiculous.
