Ack certainly does suffer from this mental disorder, narcissism, look up the word your self and you’ll see, I’m right, it fits him to a tee. Here is what the Dictionary says about it / him http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=nar%B7cis%B7sism
Nar·cis·sis·tic - (Nar*si*sis*stick) and/or nar·cis·sism - (Nar*sis*sizem)
Narcissists use everyone around them to keep themselves inflated.
Often they find flaws in others and criticize them fiercely,
for this further distinguishes them from those who are defective.
Because of their underlying need for voice and the resultant bluster,
narcissists often work their way to the center of their "circle,"
or the top of their organization. Indeed, they may be the mentor or guru for others.
The second they are snubbed, however, they rage at their "enemy."
Demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements.
Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or,
failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious.
Summarized from:
American Psychiatric Association. (1994).
Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition (DSM IV).
Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Association.
And for those that can’t look it up, I’ll past it here for you.
