That's a plausible explanation, I suppose. When I read his emails to Hardin or his filings with the court, my initial response has always been 'This guy is utterly fucking retarded. How can he be so wrong about everything?' But I suppose it's equally likely that he's insane with rage and believes that the legal system really should work as he wishes it might.
I think it's both. He's not mentally retarded, technically speaking. But he's not doing a Werk, either. He acts like a narc maniac, gets slapped (fighting all the way), then says heh, heh, I'm over it, let's move on. And can't STAND when everyone else doesn't just jump on board.
He's the same about law. He is blinded by what he needs to be true (and not exactly a scholar about it, either, objectively) and flips tf out when that doesn't succeed. See, for example, his RAGE when Hardin operates completely within procedural bounds and Russ can't keep uUP- he is outraged, it's harassment, abuse of process, unfair, ignores his plights, etc. See also, his, "hey, Hardin, did you not see my filed judicial notice of that case I think means you have no case" - he can't believe that wasn't a slam dunk, case closed, pay up, take it down OWN. No need to prove a case - in his mind it's a DUH.
He has no sense of perspective or proportionality and refuses to accept that his personal wants and behaviors to get what he wants are
thwarted and off the charts of normalcy. He perceives Hardin's or a court's restraint as ceding correctness - which only magnifies the offense when after all that other person was not actually agreeing and rolling over. He affects pomposity when he believes he is in the right, and he thinks admitting a poor decision (one among a thousand), even with an imaginary exculpatory "reason" for it, should result in a total reset and erasure of the other 999 errors and offenses. It's a sort of toddler understanding of actions and consequences, except it's not all incomprehension; a lot of it is a lifetime of thinking he got away with it. I don't believe for a minute he is quite do stupid not to understand that that's wrong; I do believe he thinks that if he doesn't deem it worthy of attention or a grudge, no one else should, either. Kind of crazy he's a damn misguided
Weeble and never internalized the real lesson. But that's malignancy and narcissism, for you: he could, but he doesn't want to.
And the fact that so many stupid judges seem to encourage his insane belief system
They don't. He thinks so, and he feels entitled to that, but he's wrong.
