Even the most extreme, criminal, psychopaths realize that some actions are acceptable by society and/or seen as normal, and others not, otherwise they would not try to and be successful in concealing their crimes.

Good point.
I hadn't seen that there was an antisocial personality disorder forum... going to have to take a look and see what kind of things posters are saying there. There had been some talk in the past about me perhaps being schizoid, but not the antisocial one. If I find myself agreeing with the views and modes of thought of diagnosed individuals than I might bring it up with my GP next time I see him.
