The problem is that the man didn't get treatment, wouldn't get treatment, couldn't get treament, or quite possibly, there are some mental illnesses we can't treat.

I am a fan of the ability of people to self-publish, and off the top of my head I can list about twenty literary figures who surprisingly self-published . . . but at what point does self-publishing an e-book become easy enough and wide-spread enough that it wouldn't count as a hobby? Sorry, I'm quibbling. It's an interesting detail that he wanted to put out an ebook. But it's like saying "he was into writing emails." “into self-publishing”?

I just like to look inside their brains, and this is a way for us to do that nowadays. I posted similarly about Brevik, at the time. xeni was surprised that the killer had a podcast and online presence.
