Prosecutor implies Hans Reiser is narcissistic
Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writer

Friday, February 22, 2008


(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.........

Interesting. Mrs. Wave has something of a professional reputation
dealing with kids and Asperger's. She's really good with them.

It's a fascinating type of autism.

Speaking of which, did you happen to see about that girl who never
spoke a word (autistic) and she sat down at a computer and started
hunt and peck typing and come to find out, she's very elaquent,
thoughtful, smart, and wise. It's an amazing story. Now people are
writing to her, asking questions and generally giving her
encouragement, etc.

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4311223&page=1

It's very touching when she describes what's inside of her.....

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.

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.

Jim, would that be as bad and shameful as someone saying nasty untrue
things about someone's wife and children like you have? I know you're
a dolt but that happens to be my wife's hobby, she loves to do it.
Nonsense about a Zimmerman like lobster boat? Are you saying that
Harry doesn't own one? To make it simple enough for you, I and others
are sick of Harry. He comes here only to lie.

Most of the attack posters hide behind anonymous handles, and there is

I've offered to come see you before, I get to Cleveland often, the
offer still stands. At least I don't have to use my children to
bolster my deflated ego like you do.

Closer to 2 than 22, by far.

I agree, you really should quit your constant disdain for Herring, who
used to be your buddy until he figured out what a low life you are.

past few days.


Pot calling the kettle black. You've launched and participated in
many, many attack threads. Again, you are the only one here, besides
Dan that is low enough to say crappy things about people's family.

"A Portrait of Harry", "Harry's Employees" and one or two VISTA threads
nicely veiled but obviously intended as attack threads on 2 memebers here.

Don't cry JimH. You can still use your children to help with that ego
problem.

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.

===================

One only needs to look at the authors who *launched* attack threads over the
past few days.

"A Portrait of Harry", "Harry's Employees" and one or two VISTA threads
nicely veiled but obviously intended as attack threads on 2 memebers here.

You are right Chuck. �I count 2, not 22. � They also seem to fit your
descriptions to a tee. � ;-)

How is the restored boat running? �Does it still look like it just came out
of the box?


It does again now. I hauled out for bottom paint, and had to have a
couple of smal scrapes repaired under the rub rail on the starboard
side.
A guy in a small sailboat was instructed to raft off of me one day
when I was on the wall in the large locks. I thought he hit me pretty
hard, but when I looked over the rail to see how things fared the
scrapes were under the protruding rub rail where they could not be
seen from above.
I didn't see anything, and the screwball in the sailboat was calling
out,
"Sorry about that, but don't worry, no harm done!"

Yeah no ham done............... to his boat.

I continue to be very pleased with that brand of organic boat soap I
have mentioned here before. It has never been easier to keep my boat
incredibly clean.

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


I think narcissism by proxy is a much more prevalent disorder around here.
