I was careless.<br /><br />However I disagree that including the term "outlawed" renders that quote any less narcissistic - the context is irrelevant. For anyone to announce that "my orders MUST be obeyed" implies they regard their judgements and commands to be infallible and beyond questioning or challenge. This is perfect arrogance, indicative of a supreme confidence in ones self, a complete absence of anything resembling humility and in total conformity with the concept of narcissism. <br /><br />But I thank you for pointing out my mistake.

Not narcissistic at all then, it seems.<br /><br />a site that refers to 'misstellings' in the case of others reveals much about itself in its own misstellings; primarily that it is exactly the same as its mirror images that misquote/invent/extrapolate etc to prove Kellys sainthood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-27391360675261172242014-11-26T00:44:45.229+11:002014-11-26T00:44:45.229+11:00Some past doodlers gave Kelly mild mental assessme...Some past doodlers gave Kelly mild mental assessments, but they were amateurs.

Such is life! <br />Ned Kelly 11.11.1880 "<br /><br />I also researched newspaper reports of the day and while we don't know what he mumbled, mumbled he did. I can believe with Ned's stoic position, and words his mother told him " Mind you die like a Kelly son" he could easily have said something relevant as what Dr Maikel made of it. <br /><br />Wonder if anyone else could come up with better?<br /><br />BillBillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-34942667500173529952014-11-24T12:55:07.092+11:002014-11-24T12:55:07.092+11:00Great blog, Dee!Great blog, Dee!Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798312463652733622.post-2300203148064632432014-11-24T00:45:17.528+11:002014-11-24T00:45:17.528+11:00I've read the paper and Dr Scott uses the PCL-...I've read the paper and Dr Scott uses the PCL-R (Psychopathy Check List - Revised) as would any psychiatrist diagnosing a psychopathic personality. He does not use hollywood characters like Hannibal Lecter. He uses Ned's own letters, newspaper refences and history to formulate his cleverly argued insight. <br /><br />The Kelly fanatics don't want this. But it is all there, for the first time, ever, proving that Ned was seriously mentally ill.Ned was Knackerednoreply@blogger.com
