"I have never heard of a case of MPD (or DID as it is referred to now) that an older man had multiple personalities - but they were all of young women. This man apparently also retains a steady job at work -- something he could not do if he had DID to such an extreme."
... I guess everybody else in this community who's got a steady job must be fake too, then. Especially the men and the older women, right?
*shrugs* I see no evidence that he's not multiple in any of those posts, and also no evidence that he either committed or intended to commit any crime. The fact that he arranged to meet people in person would seem to argue that he IS multiple, because why else would a man in his 30's or so think he'd be accepted as a young girl?
It's possible to be multiple AND to have really poor judgement. It's possible to be multiple AND to be a creep. I notice a lot of people here have younger members of their 'systems', and quite a few seem to have members who are not the nicest, most truthful, or most emotionally-balanced persons.
According to the DID 'model', all multiplicity is fake. Something to keep in mind, perhaps, before condemning someone on the basis of the circumstantial speculations of teenagers online.
You know, balding fat men in their 40s can be multiple too (I know, I'm married to one). So I am wondering if the girl he was "posing" as, is actually a girl in his system. I never saw the posts (or at least I don't remember them) so I don't know if he was claiming that his *body* was 18 and female, and now the journal is deleted the evidence is lost. I think the lesson here though is a plain one; don't give out your address or your real phone number on the 'net. Anyway... in any other community I think the case would be clear-cut but when you take the multiplicity into account it becomes an entirely different can of worms and if he was genuinely multiple then I feel really sad for the whole situation.
