Ok, I'll be honest and say that I didn't answer earlier this time because I have lost all interest in this conversation. After I read your "Tinker Bell and Regina were clearly on a date" -- which was not even in this thread -- I felt that it was pointless to keep having a discussion with someone who will only see what they want to see. This discussion started with me trying to prove you wrong about your idea of Snow being a sociopath. Somehow I've managed to do that. So let's wrap this up. And before that, let me just make four little comments:

For the purpose of time-saving, let's assume you -- who doesn't study psychology, from what I could gather -- are right and that psychology scholars who conduct research are wrong about things that would make it very improbable for Rumple to be a sociopath even after the Dark-One curse.

I came to the conclusion that you don't like extrapolating very far from the text because every time I extrapolate from the text (or even talk about subtext!) you argue that it's wrong because it's not in the text. -- I argue that it's wrong when it's something a) crazy, b) illogical, c) not even once mentioned or even approached in the entire series. I do that when you come up with things like "Mary Margaret more than likely has memories of being unrelentingly bullied in school." There's a huge difference between inferring and making things up as you please.

This homophobic friend of yours... -- It honestly amazed me how quick you are to judge someone. I told you this little about the girl and you jump to the conclusion that she is a homophobic person because I told you she doesn't embrace homosexual behavior. My understanding of homophobia is irrational aversion and contempt towards homosexual people. There is, again, a huge difference between not supporting and hating something.

So let's just do this: You keep watching your Once Upon a Time, which has so many problems and bothers you in so many aspects and I'll keep watching my Once Upon a Time. Have fun!
