Glad to see responses further than my own showing that I wasn't completely off. A diverse set of responses is good too, since debates like this shouldn't have one true answer. Also glad to see that people aren't so set in their ways that they can understand that a variety of cultures and circumstances exist in the world; rather than the whole "That's wrong, attack the heretic" philosophy. SP, you give me renewed hope in humanity.
I'm sorry, but in response to this, I can't help but say it. "Just because I'm insane, it doesn't mean I can't be a perfect gentleman." Note that I also consider sanity an opinion based on local cultural standards.

They can still be a seething ball of hate while living within the facade of societal normalcy.
