    Not that I'm a psychopath or anything (I keep feeling the need to reassure Hubski of this)

This reminds me of something I used to hear from a girl I used to hang out with, who would sometimes say, "I'm the most normal person I know," which struck me as a particularly abnormal thing to say.

Also, is it psychopaths who don't feel guilt, or is it sociopaths?

My reading actually tells me "psychopath" is not the preferred nomenclature and the term is, if I recall correctly, "dissociative affective disorder," but I was using the word for recognition more than correctness. I don't think hubski actually thinks I am psycho- or socio-pathic - one reason I feel comfortable continually reassuring you all I'm not. I may use the reassurance as much for myself as the community at large.
