Actually - it's clear to me that Wade is simply an 'Insult-a-holic'
The source of the addiction is manifold - because Wade doesn't want to admit to himself that he's simply poking people with a stick (a.k.a., homosexuality is akin to pedophilia, necrophilia, and bestiality) he fools himself into believing there's an altruistic purpose behind the stick-poke - more like a doctor's needle than a brute stick. He's trying to "help" and "heal" people. So he gets all sorts of gratification from the behavior: the sense of moral superiority to those who return his offers of "help" (a.k.a., the doctor's needle) with a brute stick poke, the sense of moral superiority because he's trying to "help", after all, as well as all the attention this behavior usually incurs, as well as the reinforcement of his own beliefs (there's "something wrong" with people who leave the church).
No wonder he's so addicted he devotes an entire thread to it!
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Actually - it's clear to me that Wade is simply an 'Insult-a-holic'. I feel bad - were not helping him by feeding his addiction. In fact, I must admit that I have suffered from this in the past - which makes my part in this all the more inexcusable. I should know better really.
Why - at one point - if I didn't get enough insults from my friends, or family in a given day - I'd end up going out on the street and annoying random people. I'd push them around. Harass them. Stab them with a stick. I even kicked this one poor bloke in the shins. Anything to get a rise. A bit of banter. ...true, I got a few bruises in the process. But I didn't even feel them.
For an insult-a-holic, there is no such thing as 'just one 'quick' insult'. And as bad as I ever was, it looks like Wade is in a far worse place right now. He's probably at the point where he hires somebody to come round in the morning to wake him up with an entire set of 'Yo Mamma' jokes. He probably needs that just to get out of bed at this point...
I mean, I can't say it's 'gone' for me. Sometimes, I get tempted. Really tempted. But Wade, I'm here to tell ya that there IS hope.
But we can't help you Wade. You have to help yourself man. There is help available. There's probably an IA group quite nearby you...
OK - yes - it's embarrassing. You'd have to stand up and say 'Hi - I'm Wade. And I'm an Insult-a-holic. It's been X months since my last goaded insult' etc. etc. You should probably think about talking through what's happened in this thread. Get it 'all out in the open'. Don't worry - the people there won't judge you - they've been were you are, and they'll help you through.
Trust me on that.
I think it's certainly the wisest course of action for you... ...although - saying that, it could just be me...
I agree to some of this.
I have highlighted those in green.
I disagree that he is an IA. I said a few time I understand, because I too have been there. I can't go by a day without trying to get people annoyed. Today was actually my first day of being calm and composed.... well... almost. I did say to someone quite randomly but well deserved "Will YOU just SHUT UP?" He was annoying me. I was trying to learn something and he kept butting in. I was listening to my Maths lecturer and this dude was trying to awnser my question to the lecturer over the top of him. It annoyed me. I hate it when someone that lacks so much knowledge thinks they are better informed that someone with a Phd in the subject. I know more on Maths than this dude. He does it all the time. But it isn't really an addiction. For me personally, I can't take compliments very well. I don't understand why people compliment me. I like to be complimented at times, but I never believe it. I much prefer negative attention. That is mainly because I do not like to be in attention. It is really silly. I don't want good attention and so I deliberately but sometimes incontrollably go out of my way to piss people off. Then people don't like me and avoid me. But my luck is that people that get to know me stick around and joke about with me and allow me to get things out. But I like that because I have gotten to know them well. They are my friends. It also allows one to find real friends. I have very few friends that will ever mistreat me because the friends I let into my inner circle are close friends and I know and trust them.
I am not getting the words for this. But I do not believe it is about being addicted to insults. It is hard to talk about it from my view because I consider myself to be there in a way. Hmmm...
Maybe I will get more out later. Gosh I need a wee everytime I come on here. Im off to make some soup.
Ohh. Silly me. But my last post was serious. But then only wade would know and if he wishes to disclose such information then I am sure there will always be ears to listen and that is choice.

No shizzle. I doubt I could work myself into a good lather over Wade.

Do you suppose they will offer such groups in apologetic heaven?

They better. In this world, so many people lack it. :P
