Does anybody know if there's a general term for the specific condition of
being unable to see yourself as others see you?

I know a lot of broad syndromes encompass an alienation from reality in
general, including paranoia, schizophrenia, and schizoid-type disorders. My
question isn't focused on the Krooborg, for a change, but on duh-Mikey. The
poor thing keeps prattling about "facts" and "science" and "reality", but if
there's an RAO regular who is more estranged from those concepts, please
tell me who it is. Mickey has repeatedly claimed that Arnii Krooger does not
initiate hostilities. What can one say to such an assertion? He's also
claimed that "most electronics sound the same" and that aBxism is a valid
and useful method of comparing audio gear, but he has zero experience with
aBxism rituals or, in fact, DBTs of any sort. He also claims that despite
knowing about the sameness of most electronics, he was a successful
salesdroid in a retail store. One can only guess which store, but it's a
little hard to accept that Mickey could ever have sold a high-end system to
anybody.

Throughout all these travails, duh-Mikey continues to insist he's right
about everything he says. His argumentativeness, though not atypical among
Usenet addicts, is especially obnoxious because he never hears
counter-arguments and never changes his opinion, no matter how much evidence
is presented to dissuade him.

Yes, I call Mikey the Bug Eater, but that's not the kind of term I'm looking
for. G

There most certainly is:
http://www.nazneuropsychology.com/clinicalcorner.htm

However, the literal interpretation is "failure to know the self", relating
to a wide range of perceptual difficulties that do not focus on personality
disorders.

The correct, clinical term is "assholalia".

Good one. My 2,300 page Webster is out
of date.

Link reference. "One example is anosagnosia,
which is a lack of awareness of one’s own cognitive,
motor or sensory problems."

From Wikipedia: "Anosognosia is a condition
in which a person who suffers disability due
to brain injury, seems unaware of or denies
the existence of their handicap.


The correct, clinical term is "assholalia".

Your "Anosagnosia" is kicking in, Robert

Is there a subgenre of this affliction that specifies idolatry to ****-gods?

Assholalia is the condition of a flapping fundamental orifice, in the
vernacular "talking through your ass". It is a condition almost
invariably coincident with stubborn ignorance.

Cool!

Did Mickey suffer brain damage?

Hi, Kal, long time no see. I hate to tangle with a guy as generally
knowledgeable as you, but surely the spelling generally used today is
anosOgnosia rather than anosAgnosia as you have it. The somewhat
pedantic justification is that the root is the Greek "nosos," disease.

But hey, no big deal if either gets your meaning across. I also think
your version looks better on the eye for the elegant variation of the
"a" rather than the confusing three "o" in a row.

Hee-ho! I think this side of the Atlantic "incorrigible" has the same
legal meaning as the Stateside version, "three strikes and it's life".
RAO must have done something collecively appalling to be punished with
so many three-strikers. We on RAT are of course innocent victims who
cannot understand why we have been punished with even two
three-strikers (Yaeger and Ludwig). Hell, we have done nothing to
deserve even the half-striker Poopie the Bear of Very Little Brain.

Being human. Most people don't see themselves the way others do. Take you
for instance.
You are obviously a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being, yet you think
you are humorous.

Mickey has repeatedly claimed that Arnii Krooger does not
initiate hostilities.

Which thread did he start with the intention of attack someone the way you
are doing here?

What can one say to such an assertion?

You could offer some sort of proof.

He's also
claimed that "most electronics sound the same" and that aBxism is a valid
and useful method of comparing audio gear, but he has zero experience with
aBxism rituals or, in fact, DBTs of any sort.

And that is disproven by what data?

He also claims that despite
knowing about the sameness of most electronics, he was a successful
salesdroid in a retail store.

Not a claim, a fact.

One can only guess which store, but it's a
little hard to accept that Mickey could ever have sold a high-end system
to
anybody.


Yet it happened, proving that you are not quite as good at evaluating people
as you might think.

Throughout all these travails, duh-Mikey continues to insist he's right

There being no facts offered to prove otherwise, yes. I have on occaison
been shown to be in error and have said so.

His argumentativeness, though not atypical among
Usenet addicts, is especially obnoxious because he never hears
counter-arguments and never changes his opinion, no matter how much
evidence
is presented to dissuade him.


Since there hasn't been much to show otherwise, yes.

You call everybody you disagree with some sort of name, especially if they
are correct.
