Psychotic folks have to operate within the rules of larger society, which is to say: no stalking, no threats, no violence, no planned homicides. My faculty advisor in Toronto long ago emphasized these principles to me. Psychotic folks understand very well that certain behaviors aren't acceptable, and modify their behavior accordingly.
I was given this advice again when I had two psychotic children; one was aggressive and violent. The psychiatrist gave me this advice so that I wouldn't excuse inexcusable behavior. He'd seen (and so had I) psychotic individuals size up a situation and decide to behave appropriately in spite of their delusions.
I've been away for a bit and missed this latest, but JBK can't make threats or stalk and have this behavior found acceptable here. The best thing glatt could have done was to give JBK a reality check.
