Not in the slightest. Did he still attack all his victims? Did that
change? Did he not kill the cat women? Did he not go to jail? Did that
change? Did he not get the treatment? That didn't change either. In fact,
nothing changed because he got older and mellowed out at some future date.

Because alex later mellowed out, was he being a swell fellow when he
got the elementry schoolgirls drunk and raped them?
