GLOSSARY

bad gene :: The “cause” of psychopathy.
A term I use to simplify something very complex.
My simplified term for the cause of personality disorders, such as ASPD, NPD, etc., describing a very complex genetic structure and brain abnormalities leading to a potential diagnosis of psychopathy. More information here.

assassination ::		 Character assassination is an attempt to tarnish [or destroy] a person’s reputation. … [resulting in] being rejected by his community, family, or members of his or her living or work environment. Such acts are often difficult to reverse or rectify, and the process is likened to a literal assassination of a human life. The damage sustained can last a lifetime … character assassination may involve doublespeak, spreading of rumors, innuendo or deliberate misinformation on topics relating to the subject’s morals, integrity, and reputation.

disciple :: An extremely loyal follower of a sociopath.
I coined this term to identify a sub-trait.
Realizing that not all sociopath followers are alike, a small percentage seem to adore the sociopath they serve. In as much, they are the most shallow and gullible of all followers, and are honored to do what the sociopath asks of them. I believe they present a unique risk to innocent individuals since they want to impress their sociopath, and in doing so, may easily exaggerate, or even fabricate stories they believe will earn them points within the sociopath’s inner circle.
hostility-throttle :: Quantifying revenge.
I coined this term to identify a sub-trait.
Consider a sociopath’s previous malicious acts — going back years — that they’ve been able to get away with. Some will include very real crimes. That’s what sets their hostility throttle in regards to offensive-revenge. If a sociopath (psychopath) has gotten away with some heinous crimes, and they think you have the ability to expose them (whether you do or not) their revenge will likely be based on what they have done (that you are unaware of) and what they’d have to lose if exposed. The more a sociopath has to lose from being exposed, the more they throttle-up their offensive-revenge.
indirect-homicide :: The worst outcome of a sociopath’s victim.
I coined this term to identify a sub-trait.
As it states, the terrible outcome would end in the death of the victim who was made an outcast, a pariah … someone so terrible that even their closest friends and family would end up believing the lies about them, and cutting off all communication. Eventually, that victim would be so alone and distraught, shamed and depressed, that they could experience a physical response from their emotional stress, such as a heart attack, or sadly ending their own lives. The sociopath would have eliminated their potential risk of exposure without being even remotely connected to their victim’s death … even if the risk was only perceived due to the sociopath’s own paranoia.
offensive-revenge :: Revenge prior to an act, based on paranoia.
I coined this term to identify a sub-trait.
If a sociopath has the belief, based on their own paranoia, one of their disciple’s stories, or any other event that makes them nervous about some individual — someone who may know too much — a sociopath will not wait to go on the defensive. The sociopath will go on the offensive as if they are already defending themselves based on an imaginary act against them. Based on revenge, which is typically in response to a previous action, a sociopath’s revenge is executed offensively in anticipation of being exposed.
