    "Compensatory Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Personality disorder is a matter of false judgments of value. Listed below are the false value judgments that are at the root of Compensatory Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

    False Good... False Bad... Personality Disorder

    to have an image of superiority and high worth an image of inferiority seeks to create an illusion of superiority and to build up an image of high self-worth.

    social recognition, status, and prestige obscurity, low status, and lack of prestige strives for recognition and prestige to compensate for the lack of a feeling of self-worth.

    outstanding achievement being out-achieved by others may acquire a deprecatory attitude in which the achievements of others are ridiculed and degraded.

    glory, honors, and fame lack of glory, honors, or fame has persistent aspirations for glory and status.

    praise and approval others' critical judgments and disapproval is sensitive to how others react to him or her, watches and listens carefully for critical judgment, and feels slighted by disapproval.

    to be highly esteemed being shamed or humiliated is prone to feel shamed and humiliated and especially hyper-anxious and vulnerable to the judgments of others.

    greatness, perfection, genius, or stardom lack of greatness, perfection, genius, or stardom entertains fantasies of greatness, constantly striving for perfection, genius, or stardom.

    a highly valued spouse or partner; to be affirmed and confirmed in relationships lack of a highly valued spouse; not being affirmed and confirmed has a history of searching for an idealized partner and has an intense need for affirmation and confirmation in relationships.

    to be their idealized self being their actual self frequently entertains a wishful, exaggerated, and unrealistic concept of himself or herself which he or she can't possibly measure up to.

    success and others' admiration lack of success; not being admired produces (too quickly) work not up to the level of his or her abilities because of an overwhelmingly strong need for the immediate gratification of success.

    to be respected and admired being slighted and not receiving constant admiration is touchy, quick to take offense at the slightest provocation, continually anticipating attack and danger, reacting with anger and fantasies of revenge when he or she feels frustrated in his or her need for constant admiration.

    love and approval from others lack of love and approval is self-conscious, due to a dependence on approval from others.

    the attention and admiration of others lack of attention and admiration seeks to undo feelings of inadequacy by forcing everyone's attention and admiration upon himself or herself.

    fulfillment of their grandiose expectations lack of fulfillment of their grandiose expectations may react with self-contempt and depression to the lack of fulfillment of his or her grandiose expectations.

    to receive praise being criticized has a tendency to exaggerate and boast."

I hope you're ready to engage in a productive impersonal discussion of online compensatory behaviours?

    Usage note: Phenomenon is the only acceptable singular form of this noun; phenomena is the usual plural.
    Phenomenons may also be used as the plural in nonscientific writing when the meaning is "extraordinary
    things, occurrences, or persons": They were phenomenons in the history of music.

    My issue with GB is not the observation he makes, which is probably accurate, it is the lack of balls to name names. I think the analogy would be: you don't start a fight in a bar by writing graffiti in the toilet.
