That’s why I mentioned these “isms”. My post was about a Little Library hosted by a (presumed) MAGA supporter, not about listing every single kind of dangerous or repellent personality disturbance or disorder out there. You are the one who brought up psychopathy, not me - and I simply don’t share your fixation on the subject. Amazing as that may be.

As for picking and choosing another’s “path to enlightenment”, I (softly) objected to a woman’s hijacking of her neighbor’s Little Library, even though she NEVER indicated that it contained anything like The Turner Diaries or Mein Kampf. Don’t you think it’s a bit of a stretch to turn that into “paths to enlightenment” and “evil influences”?
