I don't know about everyone else, but I agree with you, if that amounts to
anything...

Well, yeah, on this level I agree too. But I think there's a difference
between a tendency, and a desire, and the actual doing of the thing. Within
the context of the frame of mind expressed in Sean's quoted post, I think
Robbie and Scottie are right -- it probably is an extreme condition that
makes one actually Do It.
But I don't think that mindset is the Only mindset possible behind the act.
