Regrettably, I don't even know myself why the person thought it a good idea to slap me with an eelpout, so I'm afraid it'll forever remain a mystery. The comment about sociopathy was mostly in response to a fragment of post a few back that seemed to imply that sociopaths specifically have to learn to read emotions, as opposed to being innately able to. There are a fair number of conditions that might make reading emotions more difficult to almost impossible (most without making it any more likely for someone to be a bad person - as I have noted before, sociopathy doesn't necessary mean one is more likely to be so, either, there are just fewer self-originating repercussions from the acts), but sociopathy is not one of them.
