Well I certainly would not agree wtih anyone who would say he had to be Beta or couldn't be Delta. But it's possible he just went after whoever responded to his invitation to come home.

Yeah but empathy/sociopathy are on this scale. There's a method to most people's madness, like when people go dark, they select their victims both carefully, and instinctively. You know, the normal response when people treat you unfairly is to get depressed/angry at them, and fight back a little- lash out angrily at them, but you don't like start thinking in your head how you're gonna groom an entire situation to get them alone somewhere to put their body in a black trash bag. Unless.... you're a natural sociopath (which I believe is mostly genetic somehow but anybody can probably be made that way with enough training)

So even sociopaths have feelings, right, they just have feelings only for themselves. So they are gonna target people who have personally wronged them before.... and so somehow, he felt threatened and attacked by gay guys, and that's why he killed other gays. It wasn't just an emo 'woe is me im gay thing' like in other gays though I don't think. Otherwise he would have probably killed himself, even if he was a sociopath. lol.

you could be on to something in your analysis, b&d. i don't disagree with an SLI typing, dahmer definitely seems introverted and logical. there was some speculation that he was "crazy" as in mentally ill, but i doubt it.

The Murder Room provides an excellent analysis of the vertical drop towards outright evil one can begin. see below for link to this excellent book.

dahmer seems like one of those at the very end of the long rope of evil. your analysis is a horizontal/latitudinal one which dovetails nicely with the intrapsychic model presented by professional forensic investigators in this book. let me know if you decide to read it.
