He appears to be like a child who NEEDS to act out in public. That's all we see of him-in public. However, none of us knows what he's like in private-having not been around him or-for most of us-never having met the guy. He could be a giving guy with neighbors, children, whatever. I know he donates a ton of money to an organization that addresses children with special needs-much like the Warner family. I also know that he has -on his own-visited several private organizations that are providing special services to children with special needs. He appears to have a genuine care for these children. But like many people we know-when in the eyes of the public- he appears to NEED the attention and his way of getting it is how he "acts out". But none of us are privileged to see anything other than what's in the public eye. The only reason I know of his involvement with these children-outside the public eye is because of my wife's profession representing and advocating for parents and their children who live with the nightmares of having the most severe cases of autism. In fact we just returned from a special party for one child whom Barbara advocated for him from his 8th grade up to getting his regular HS. diploma. In fact the OC Register has done an article mentioning Barbara throughout the piece.
Back to TO. Just by observing how he conducts himself in the public he likely enjoys posts like these here-that's what he needs ! And if he were to read this stuff it wouldn't bother him at all. I also think by refusing to show up for the ceremony he knew he would get far more attention than if he were to attend.
I'm no psychologist and none of the people here are. Nevertheless, IMO he is a child who thoroughly enjoys getting everybody's panties wet over his behavior. We're all children is some respect. It's just that in some of us that child has a far less healthy way of acting out.
