I have seen Brian L. McCarty several times up close. When his Baskin Robbins 
shop provided substantial income, McCarty apparently traveled the world, 
engaging in what some might call recreational stalking. In this activity, 
Mr. McCarty chose to put himself in my presence several times, including one 
when he impersonated a telephone repairman. I know what he looks like, which 
I will now share with you.

His weight when measured was 220, but it may have been greater when I saw 
him. He is 6'2" in height, with an extremely protrusive lower jaw.  Since 
this is frequently accompanied by an overbite, where the lower teeth mesh in 
front of the uppers, it may explain why he keeps his mouth constantly 
closed. His face is otherwise flat and squarish, with a smallish nose. He 
has no facial hair, and his hairline is straight and low, with no recession. 
These somewhat femine characteristics mesh with what follows.

He has a very short torso, very long arms and legs, and a generally soft 
appearance of substantial subcutaneous fat, although he is not obese. He has 
a modest abdominal protrusion. He is far sighted, and wears corrective 
glasses. His voice suggests that his upper airways are constricted.

Taken as a sum, Mr. McCarty's general appearance conforms closely to a 
common genetic abnormality known as Kleinfelter's Syndrome. Affected 
individuals have a second copy of the X chromosome; their genotype is XXY. 
These individuals are male, although usually, but not inevitably, sterile. 
The testes are usually degenerated. The "bell shaped curve" of IQ is 
downshifted about 12 points. Individuals are typically not retarded, but 
tend to have learning disabilities. The prevelance of psychosis is elevated 
compared to the general population. Testicular  breast cancer are common. In 
the absence of complications, life expectancy is normal.

A frequently observed behavioral characteristic of Kleinfelter's is 
hostility toward women. Since Mr. McCarty has favored many of my friends 
with harassing phone calls, they have reported some patterns. When McCarty 
finds a woman is on the line, he is belligerent and threatening. When he 
finds a man is on the phone, he hangs up. In the past seven years, McCarty 
has called me many times, but apparently does not have the nerve to actually 
speak. He uses the ring of the telephone as a kind of crude semaphore. Once 
he left a message on my answering machine that was a crude imitation of the 
accent of an outback sheepman.

It appears that McCarty has been, and probably still is, a client of the 
Australian mental health system. Of the known complications of Kleinfelter's 
Syndrome, he appears to suffer from "florid manic depressive psychosis." 
"Florid", or "in full flower" means that, at the current time, it would be 
obvious that he is ill.

Contrary to expectation, people with psychosis have impaired imagination, 
along with other deficits. This makes it difficult for McCarty to be truely 
inventive, which is why all his posts are recombinations of a few themes. 
To compensate for his deficits, as a substitution for imagination, he writes 
about events in his own life, which you see in the forgeries he writes in my 
own name.

In recent posts, he has described the antipsychotic drugs prescribed to him, 
and his dislike of the side effects. He has described being driven to 
hospital by the police, for treatment of severe episodes. He has described 
fear of living out of the back of a car. He has described a hateful father, 
which I must suppose is his own.

He is obviously under tremendous stress, to the point that, in this thread, 
he was unable to select the appropriate "sockpuppet." In fact, the life 
expectancy of individuals with manic depressive psychosis is 12 to 16 years 
less than normal.
