Prosecutor implies Hans Reiser is narcissistic

�(02-21) 13:54 PST OAKLAND -- The prosecutor in Hans Reiser's murder
trial suggested Thursday that the defendant's well-chronicled social
ineptitude was caused not by mild autism, as defense lawyers have
theorized, but because he has a narcissistic personality disorder
characterized by arrogance.

Beverly Parr, a psychiatrist who has known the 44-year-old Reiser
since he was a toddler, testified for the defense Wednesday that he
showed all the signs of having Asperger's syndrome, which is marked by
impaired social skills and a fixation on things.

The defense has maintained that while Hans Reiser may come across as
strange, that doesn't mean he killed his estranged wife, Nina. She was
31 when she disappeared in September 2006 after dropping off the
couple's two children at his Oakland hills home. Her body hasn't been
found.

During her second day of cross-examination Thursday in Alameda County
Superior Court, Parr again acknowledged that she had never diagnosed
Hans Reiser. She was also reluctant to agree with prosecutor Paul
Hora's theory that Reiser is narcissistic.

Hora read from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, generally considered by psychiatrists as the bible of their
profession.

"How about a father who insists that his son is gifted, is brilliant,
is a genius, is inadequate in school because he's smart and is bored?"
Hora asked, referring to sentiments that Hans Reiser expressed
regarding his son, now 8. "He's in first grade but should be in third
or fourth? A father who sees his son like that, is that a trait of
narcissism?" Hora asked.

What if he were talking about his father or wife instead of his son?
Sound like anyone here?

"I'm not a specialist, but it could be," Parr said.

Hora continued to read from the manual, saying, "They are likely to
insist on having only the 'top' person (doctor, lawyer, hairdresser,
instructor) or being affiliated with the 'best' institutions, but may
devalue the credentials of those who disappoint them." Had Parr known
Hans to act this way? Hora asked.

Wow, that hits close to someone, eh?

"I know many people ..." Parr began.

"Ma'am," interjected Judge Larry Goodman. "Answer yes or no."

Makes you go Hmmmmmmmm.........

Look up obsessive compulsive disorder with a nemesis fixation.
Wonder who behaves like that? (Several, and it's hilarious)

No. It would be somebody whose actions were compelled by the dislike
of somebody else and who was so fixated on his or her nemesis
that it disrupted reality as commonly perceived by a healthy adult.

Folks who launch attack threads, particularly those who launch them
repeatedly and frequently, may begin to fit the general description.

What happens when someone has about 22 of those nemeses guys?

The whole NG goes to hell.

As far as people who are so upset with somebody else that they have
their wife spending time paging through 40-50 year old issues of the
NYT looking for any mention of a "fire boat welcome", who can't let
any thread run very far without adding some nonsense about a
"Zimmerman-like lobsta boat", and who routinely launch a thread for
the express purpose of attacking another poster in the NG? There are
closer to two than to 22.

Most of the attack posters hide behind anonymous handles, and there is
no reason to believe that some of them aren't using a couple of sock
puppets to reinforce their hateful message.

Closer to 2 than 22, by far.

Obsessive: Those poor guys are consumed with their own disdain for
another person, probably beyond the point where it's healthy.

Compulsve: Several people post compulsively here, ("Hey, I just bought
a new bicycle, went out to dinner, visited a relative, got new tires
for the pickup, etc".....several times a week). But not all are
obsessed with a single subject or individual.

Nenesis fixation: Pretty obvious, just look at the content.
