Does Rev. Victoria Weinstein aka Peacebang Suffer From Unbecoming Conduct Disorder?

Over on his Transparent Eye blog, journalist and UU World magazine contributor Rick Heller has written a post titled 'Those who Enjoy the Pain of Others' and sub-titled 'A peek at the sadistic brain'. His post is about a new study published in the journal Biological Psychology which used fMRI scans to compare brain activity in eight unusually aggressive 16-to-18 year-old males to those of eight normal adolescent males while they watched videos of people getting hurt. He reports that, "While both groups showed activity in the brain’s pain centers, the brains of aggressive males, those with conduct disorder, also showed activity in the brain’s pleasure centers, suggesting that they may have been enjoying what they were seeing. Normal males showed no such activity."

Here is the full text of the comment that I just successfully submitted in response to Rick Heller's blog post. I am embedding some pertinent links in it that were not in the original comment as posted. Hopefully Rick Heller will show some journalistic integrity and decide not "memory hole" my not unreasonable suggestion that the arguably sadistic "vindictive fantasies" that Rev. Victoria Weinstein quite regularly posts to her Peacebang blog are an indication that the self-professed "manic mind" of this self-described "Christian" U*U "pastor" may be suffering from "Unbecoming Conduct Disorder". . .

Conduct Disorder eh?

How about Unbecoming Conduct Disorder?

Maybe the UUA’s Ministerial Fellowship Committee should do one of those fMRI brain scans on Rev. Victoria Weinstein when she is dreaming up one of her unusually aggressive vindictive fantasies that she quite regularly posts to her Peacebang blog. . .
