Stick around, get your lessons free.

This fucking better than watching HATE tv during primetime.
 
Tune in tomorrow, for yet another episode of.." As the Lit Board Turns"...
 
Paranoid Personality Disorder

A pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:

* suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her
* is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of friends or associates
* is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against him or her
* reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events
* persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights
* perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack
* has recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding fidelity of spouse or sexual partner

Criteria summarized from:
American Psychiatric Association. (1994). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition. Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Association.

Thought this might contribute to the conversation. Now who's paranoid around here? ;)
 
On the next episode of As the Lit Board turns

Trolling abounds.....
What will the Lit characters do?
Rant and scream? Demand for banning? Organize a lynch mob?

You bet your ass they will ;)
