can you add Peter Stegman and Alan Yates to Affably Evil?

despite there actions they were both capable of being nice guys when not provoked, psychopaths tend to be geniunely nice people until someone "triggers" a response.. that's when they snap..

they aren't really "evil", they just can't control their emotions and thus lash out when they feel threatened or harmed (due to their egocentric sense of "right" they often take small slights as extremely serious personal attacks and are vengeful).

Providing you don't piss them off they are Affable.. both Stegman and Yates were fairly friendly to their crew and while Yates didn't offer much in the way of "friendship" to his victims Stegman did (in his own bizarre way) try to briefly offer a truce to the teacher ("can I be in the band, teach?") - when Stegman was rejected he felt like this offer was spat on and thus went on his infamous rampage (also I'm not saying either were particularly "good" people.. I'm just trying to say that with emotionally unstable people like Stegman we have to remember they are mentally deranged).
