I doubt that Mr. Pilder would ever acknowledge that, in his own posted words, he is bipolar and that he was taking lithium and desipramine as medical treatment. I'm pretty sure there is more than simple bipolar disorder going on here. Mr. Pilder is seriously mentally ill. However, he is also a troll. One can be mentally ill and be a troll at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. However, the mental illness can obscure the narcissistic, sadistic, psychopathic, and Machiavellian tendencies that trolls are known for. This is considered to be the "dark tetrad" personality type. Be not deceived.

"Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response"
-----------------------------------------------------
I hate that I should feel it necessary to comment on the nature and behavior of the troll that lives here. For now, the best way to disarm a troll is to ignore him.
New posters are a favorite target for our troll. Most of us already know our troll very well, and do not often satisfy his pathological needs. This is not true of first-time posters who are often desperate, distraught and vulnerable to being upset. They are usually dissuaded from continuing to post here as they are seeking refuge. New posters are easily harmed by the troll. The troll is having fun. It is what he comes here for.
Our troll spends much more time maligning me than do others collectively malign him. Do not feel sorry for our troll. Not every person with bipolar disorder knowingly upsets others as a pastime. Our troll is too smart and lucid enough to not understand that his behavior will affect the behavior of others as a consequence. He awaits the emotional responses of others, and relishes them. He is not a victim. He does not particularly care about the cause-and-effect relationship between his behavior and yours. He counts on it.
As our troll likes to say, there is so much more than this.
