Former F1 Doc and an attention whore doesn't have an agenda, at all.
It's strange because attention whores usually irritate the heck out of me. Narcissism isn't the best aspect of humanity. The opposite. I'm not a fan of twitter or the whole drama/attention thing. I sort of despise it.
For some reason, reading his blogs now and then over the last 12 months I never got that sense. It never rubbed me that way.
Maybe it's because some narcissists can be completely self centered and lap up attention just for their own purpose while others do that while offering a service at the same time. I've seen plenty of fitness trainers or others that "serve" others, and contribute a lot of good to the world.. while at the same time, if you labelled them as an attention whore or being narcissistic you could be right.
They still offer something that is of use to others. Contribute something to the whole.. outside of themselves. A celeb posting a pic of what they ate for breakfast? Useless. A doctor sharing medical knowledge? Not so useless. Narcissism is everywhere in our society and is sort of encouraged or admired. Everyone has a little bit to some degree, as it's necessary for success. How many Lewis fans love him because of his "out there" persona? It's like nudity in movies. For some people it's just wrong. For me, sometimes it's gratuitous and meaningless and sometimes it has a purpose. It can be a sensitive issue but there's right and wrong ways where it shows itself.
Anyways, this is getting off topic. To conclude.. there's two sides to every story, and clearly he isn't 100% squeaky clean or perfect. At the same time, freedom of expression is a good thing and using fear to control people.. not so much. Unless they are doing something wrong, and if they are.. there are right and wrong ways to handle that situation.
