I think you're just trying to find an excuse to disagree with me. I pretty much said exactly that it's because of b), and that he is an eccentric person stems entirely from that. So does in many ways the fact that NK is a 'nuclear threat'.
When I talked specifically about his eccentric ways, or what is more to the point, NK's eccentric ways, I'm more just talking about how our own media likes to report on the guy. Which is pretty self-evident.
