I see a lot of people trying to rationalize and apply logic to Shmorkys behaviors. You have to take a step back and understand he is mentally ill and does insane things. He was wearing ski masks to exercise his face. These are not the thoughts and actions of someone who has it together folks.
What I am getting at is that is unwell as his brain is, trying to puzzle out all the little fiddly bits that make him so crazy. As if they even have a reason can only lead to madness. I am pretty sure this is exactly how the troon support network started out, from a few well meaning people with the feels trying to understand people like Dave and losing their minds and eventually souls in the process.
I am not totally serious about him driving you crazy but still keep a clinical detachment and remember these are the actions of someone with multiple untreated psychological problems and should be judged and mocked accordingly.
