Quixtar's Internet Critics are Narcissists!

The odd-ball group of Information Anarchists using the Internet to terrorize Quixtar and its IBOs demonstrate undeniable Narcissism.

What is narcissism?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, the disorder is described as a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy . . . as indicated by five or more of the following:

1. A grandiose sense of self-importance.
The Internet Terrorists of Quixtar certainly demonstrate this trait. I have said all along that they are puffed up with their "cause" and their unrealistic sense of self-importance.

2. Preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success or POWER
Particularly power. The Internet Terrorists feel a sense of power and preeminence with what they do.

3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by others of similar high-status
The Internet Critics of Quixtar position their propaganda in a manner that suggests anybody who doesn't believe them and their bile are stupid and "inferior" to them. If someone is interested in building the Quixtar business, somehow that suggests a lack of intelligence when compared to the oh-so-smart Internet Critics.

4. Requires excessive admiration.
This trait is obvious. It can be seen by reading any of the postings or websites of the six or seven odd-ball Quixtar Haters. They struggle constantly to present themselves as worthy of praise and admiration for their smart, consumer-minded, propaganda campaign against big-bad Quixtar and its criminal IBOs.

5. Has a sense of entitlement, that is, unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations.
Just watch how mad the Terrorists of the Quixtar business become when people argue with them in chat rooms and discussion forums. They react as to say "how dare you question our motives or evidence!" I guess freedom of speech for them only goes in one direction.

6. Is "interpersonally exploitative", that is, uses others to achieve his or her own ends.
This one I explained in my previous post. The nut-case bashers of Quixtar feed off its very existence. They get their jollys by snuffing out the hopes of Quixtar IBOs. They use Quixtar and its IBOs for their very sense of identity. Someone must lose for them to feel "special".

7. Lacks empathy, is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
I have also highlighted this before. The fruity-nobodies who bash Quixtar as an obsession have no concern for the "little guy" they supposedly represent. In fact, they relish in his destruction. They have no concern or feeling for the single mom who uses the Quixtar business to pay her mortgage, for the elder couple who use it to supplement their retirement, for the college graduate who uses it to pay off his college loans, and on and on. The Quixtar critics care only for themselves and their bizarre fixation with destroying a business and its honorable people.

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
Whoa, is this one ever true. The critics of Quixtar can't stand the fact that thousands and thousands of people in the Quixtar business make more money in the Quixtar business than they do in life. Don't forget, the bonehead critics of Quixtar think they are vastly superior to all Quixtar IBOs and therefore must explain their own economic inferiority by calling the Quixtar business "illegal" and "fraudulent." Then they turn it around and seem to indicate that Quixtar IBOs really wish they were as smart and as informed as Internet Critics!

9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes.
This has been covered in previous posts, also. Watch how the Quixtar Critics will push back on any intelligent arguement against their false conclusions with emotional outbursts, in what I would like to call a "shout-and-denounce" game.

Convinced yet?

The sad, bizarre group of Internet Terrorists critical of the Quixtar business live a life of half-truths, occasional truths, and alarmist conspiracy theories mixed with anti-American rhetoric.

They are narcissists in the full sense of the word.

May they get the help they scream out for everyday on their computers.
