Archie doesn't seem to have any insight into his own condition.

Ya gotta wonder about somebody who seems to prop up their ego by posting gratuitous obscenity....
As if they think potty mouth posting establishes them as dominant in some sort of pecking order..
Has Phil ever acknowledged having a brain disorder?
I observed a person with coprolalia in action, on a city bus, insulting black men with the N-word, and fortunately they realized it was her brain disorder that made her do it.
The woman apparently does not have tourettes but has other types of brain disorder and mental illness. She basically burned her brain out with street drugs.
I'm fascinated about the fact that they conciously determine what is the WORST thing to say in any given situation, and then are compelled to blurt that out.
I know that conventional though says that they just can't help themselves, but I am fascinated that they actually must spend some mental effort to analyze what is the most obnoxious thing to say in each situation. I can't fully BUY the notion that they have no control of their actions.
I observed a person with echolalia, and it's much easier to believe that it is a malfunction and without control.
The notion that somebody with coprolalia could conciously TYPE IN their epithets in a usenet post is fascinating as well because it defies the excuse that they just can't help themselves.
Archie's hypercritical nature also seems to be outside an arena excused by saying he just can't help himself.
It just seems like a more complicated sort of impulse control.
I'll just keep ASSESSING Archie, but I'll keep an eye on Phillip, too.
