Then again can modern mental health professionals really do anything for sociopaths? Can therapy even do a lot for assholes?

Personality disorders can be managed, but not 'cured.' Sociopathy, narcissism, borderline tendencies, psychopathy, are the most difficult to identify internally. That makes them rarely addressed at all.

As for the assholery, I bat about 800, success-wise. Then again, any asshole who makes it to my couch has a different sort of motivation.

That said, at least he didn't create twelve sockpuppets like that girl Jessie did.

If I were to do that, I would keenly feel the sudden shortfall in actual socks.

Took me a while to work out you weren't on the couch with them.

Mostly I think it is a waste of everyone's energy. He's not very interesting, nothing new to the story, sad and pathetic much like any number of people we encounter on the interwebs.

Yes.

Talking about stuff it occurs to me to talk about isn't a waste of my energy. You reading it might be a waste of yours, but I stand by this being an indulgence that costs little and works out quite fine.

there's nothing on his Google+ page

Well, you know Google+'s draconian policy on true names.

In my job as "virtual identity girl" I recently had to explain to my boss and others why you really can't use the terms "sockpuppet" and "sweaterpuppet" interchangeably.

I've never heard of "sweaterpuppet" before.

I thought they were called "sweater puppies".

And apparently "sweater scuds" and some other stuff. I had to bring up Urban Dictionary and then do a dramatic reading.

Well, I didn't HAVE to, but you know, that's my value-added.
