At
every point people read Mr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe’s comments on what seemed
to him are very important contributions to social media. Mister Latimore,
may I give you a little advice? Okay, I am not going to wait for your
permission to do so and will do so, anyway. Here is the advice: do not write
about people with derogatory terms if you do not know what those terms
mean.
My guess is that somehow it got into your head that if you
call people by certain derogatory names that what you said is true and would
stick; you mean to put them down by giving them derogatory labels; politics
is meant to heal not to degrade (you have a need to degrade folks; why do you
have that need?).
I
understand that you came from a jungle where civility is not practiced and you
believe that all you have to do is come to the public square and engage in name
calling and that that is good enough. You need to realize that Nigerian
Internet forums consist of people with different levels of education. Many
members are well educated and sophisticated. Many of them actually know what
words mean and often wonder why you, a supposed attorney, employ words
inappropriately.
Apparently,
you use words just because they sound big in your mind; employing big words
kind of makes you feel important...and you hope that those big words make you
seen educated in other people’s eyes. Unbeknown to you, educated folks see
you as a man who feels inordinately small and compensates with desire to be
seen as big (if you have positive self-esteem you would respect people. Your
not respecting people means that you do not feel respect worthy).
Instead
of taking my advice you are more likely to see it as an attack on your
grandiose self-concept and self-image and react with anger at me and call me
every put down name your childish vocabulary can muster. Go ahead and assault
me; I am a big boy and can take your temper tantrums; however, if you
physically act out I would not hesitate in requesting that you be placed on
five points restraints in a psychiatric hospital; paranoid persons who feel
attacked, albeit false can attack and even kill folks.
Below
is a snippet of paranoid personality disorder.
People with paranoid personality disorder are generally characterized as
having a long-standing pattern of pervasive distrust and suspicious of
others. A person with paranoid personality disorder will nearly always
believe that other people’s motives are suspect or even malevolent.
Individuals with this disorder assume that other
people will exploit, harm, or deceive them, even if no evidence exists to
support this expectation. While it is fairly normal for everyone to have some
degree of paranoia about certain situations in their lives (such as worry about
an impending set of layoffs at work), people with paranoid personality disorder
take this to an extreme — it pervades virtually every professional
and personal relationship they have.
Individuals with Paranoid Personality Disorder
are generally difficult to get along with and often have problems with close relationships.
Their excessive suspiciousness and hostility may be expressed in overt
argumentativeness, in recurrent complaining, or by quiet, apparently hostile
aloofness.
Although they may appear to be objective,
rational, and unemotional, they more often display a range of affect, with
hostile, stubborn, and sarcastic expressions predominating. Their combative and
suspicious nature may elicit a hostile response in others, which then serves to
confirm their original expectations.
