While I agree with you that the punishment Paul Christophoro got from the internet is too severe for the crime being a bully (and bad at his job), please don't make a medical diagnosis on the basis of a reddit comment from someone else describing a phone call. Your profile says you are a medical doctor, you really should know better.

From the mentioned post: > In our conversations, he has compared himself to no less than Howard Stern and Charlie Sheen. He has proclaimed himself to be the biggest thing on the internet, and has repeatedly touted how much power he thinks he now has with the press. He told me tonight "if they fuck with me, I got all these websites all over me. Whatever I tell them to write, they write." He says that he has a TV interview with SPIKE TV next week. I look forward to him telling them what to do and what to edit into their coverage. Tonight, he reiterated that in unmistakable, forceful terms. > His abrupt swings in tone and mood were astoundingly rapid. He told me he would burn the company to the ground and destroy everyone associated with it, including me, he regretted to inform me. "I know you're just a guy doing a job and you don't know any better. I'm gonna ruin your life if I have to." I shouldn't have used the affirmative, but it is highly probable. Megalomania and rapid mood swings are serious telltale signs. Another possible cause for mania would be side effects of drugs. You can read in this interview[1] that he takes testosterone to correct a deficiency, it could also be the culprit.
