Look at this, quoted from the blog post:

“It seemed that his main aim was to make the person he was talking to feel guilty. At the same time, I had the impression that he also wanted the person he was talking with to like him.”

The purpose of communication us to inform or inquire. It can also be to entertain or persuade. Make a request.

He probably attacked her to make her feel guilty. He's always doing this, if you notice what he says. By attacking people, he tries to get them to feel guilty. Why?

My guess is to manipulate them. This person is so effed up. Just such a mess.

Nice find, Canetoad. I look forward to reading more from her book.
