No it isn't Arny. You just love to project your faults on to other people.
There are a number of symptoms though, most of which you fit perfectly:

"The person with a Paranoid Personality Disorder essentially has an
ongoing, unbased suspiciousness and distrust of people. Along with this,
they are emotionally detached. In order to have this diagnosis, the person
would have to have seen others as having malevolent intentions, by early
adulthood in different situations, as indicated by a number of different
factors. These factors include: suspicion that others are exploiting, or
deceiving them, that others may not be loyal or trustworthy, believes
there are threats or attacks on their character in innocent statements
that others do not see, and bears persistent grudges. Additionally, this
is not a diagnosis which would be used if the person also has Paranoid
Schizophrenia, a separate diagnosis, for example, among other diagnosis
which would exclude it.

As a rule, those with paranoid personality disorders can be very draining
to be around, as their constant habit of blame and suspicion makes one
feel the need to reassure them on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, when
reassurances are made, those with this disorder hear contradictory
evidence. They view it as more evidence that harm will be done to them.

They tend to think in hierarchy: who controls the power. They want to know
who has the power in any given situation. They tend to drive people away
from them, and thus have few friends, proving to themselves even more that
there is a conspiracy afoot against them. This leads them to have a very
lonely life.

Treatment of Paranoid Personality Disorder is difficult because they
automatically distrust the therapist. A business-like approach, without
"insight oriented therapy" is best indicated."



The sooner you admit you have a problem and get help Arny, the sooner you
can get well.

The sooner people stop using Arny as the whiping boy for everything that is
wrong with audio related usenet, the better.

Nobody is forced to read his posts.

If you find him annoying, just killfile him like so many have done with
people like Morein.
Of course Morein has no useful contribution of any kind to make regarding
audio, so that's not missing much.
