I've had all that and worse.

I'd like to know why society is so surprised when eventually one of our kind snaps and goes 'postal'. It's pure cause and effect in my opinion.

The label might as well be 'Not one of us and therefore not worthy of respect'

That's fine but why do they expect any respect back?
