not enough evidence in yet on Ethan's psychosity
I'm actually having am-I-from-another-planet-where-people-don't-kidnap? cognitive dissonance.
He kidnapped 2 people, one of them an extremely pregnant woman. Okay, maybe he was escorting them to some safe location that we the viewers don't know about. Fine, maybe that wasn't a psycho thing to do. I can relent on that until the evidence is in.

Locke seems to accept people's decisions without trying too much to influence them, even if he thinks it's a bad decision.
In some cases, though, he seems to instigate the bad decisions. Like when he gave Sayid the knife after he got knocked out by an unknown person and he thought it was Sawyer. Why would he hand over a knife? "Oh yeah, here's a knife to cut some bark so you and Sawyer can sit down and have some bark tea and work out your problems."

How about killing them and hanging them -- more deep tissue work? Reiki?
Dude's dangerous to have around, and looks like a nutbar.
I think I need to reread Watership Down.

He could be ethically challenged, but not prone to psychotic breaks.
waves DSM IV in Tepalina's face
Also, I'm sure there have been instances of non-psycho hangmen. Some probably did it with a sense of mild regret and civic duty.
