I consider what I learned in my training to be a psychologist, or someone who is able to diagnose mental and emotional disorders and apply that to characteristics listed in the DSM4 and other diagnostic tools available to me. I was very fortunate to get a decent education and I feel it would be disrespectful to myself and my teachers not to apply what I learned. While you don't display many symptoms of schizophrenia, you are showing early warning signs of paranoia. If you're interested in learning more about this, google "paranoid personality disorder". I'm not diagnosing you (I am not licensed, nor have I attempted to get a license), but rather simply trying to explain that you're starting to show signs of heading in that direction.
There's no justification for the repeated slippery slope arguments often in your arguments. Police with needles suddenly becomes a case of holocaust. When we point out the extremes of your arguments, you lash out at people instead of addressing our points. You don't trust people, especially people in positions of authority, and assume that they are trying to injure and deceive you. You bear grudges against members.
