That's an interesting thought, Daniel. [Ignoring the epistemology of mental illness in cyberspace, maybe Don B. could comment on that :-] I think his actions can be explained without going quite so far, and without positing there not being an actual company. In a, er, nutshell, it could be that he simply tried to put a product together and represent himself as a company, and then got extremely frustrated at the realities involved, particularly the dichotomy between the black-and-white world of coding versus the indeterminate and contradictory world of marketing, and lashed out.

On the other hand, he might just be an arrogant asshole.
