Let me remind everyone that this board is a place to share your experience with voicelessness and to give and receive support. If you would like to participate in a forum on Narcissistic Personality Disorder, discuss the way people diagnosed with NPD are treated by society, or be part of a support group for people diagnosed with NPD, Hope has offered his site as a place to do it http://frost.bbboy.net/healnpd.
I wantd to bring this thread to the top in the light of a new thread started called" Does this Sound Familar????"
My first question is, is the Anon post a fabrication, is it real, who knows? Do any of all people responding and commenting know for sure?.
Could the person who 'Found' this have just made it up?
Could the person who 'Found' this on another site that they visit, and I guess participate in, have posted it there themselves, and then lifted it back out?
Who knows? We'll never know.
The lifter seemed so strange calling it fascinating and asking our opinions.
Just a bit too strange I think, and I think Portia's right, I too am completely sus' of the whole thing. I smell a rat. A little bit too convenient. And the feeding frenzy that has taken place. Why? What a waste of life.
And if it is for real then I agree with the first guest, do we want to start a flame war with another board.
And now we even are calling the 'anon poster' SHE. I didn't read anywhere it was a woman. Did you? Everyone picking up on everyone elses ideas, and it all takes on a life of it's own pretty quickly.
So many assumptions happening in that new thread, based on what?
I'm just not interested in someone bringing in someones elses trash for us to sort through. Yes I'm a bit disgusted, and the other side is what if it is a 'true', does than mean the person 'Anon' was even talking about us here in this forum? This is the funny part. This made me laugh. What if it's not us at all, and we start a flame war with another board. Wouldn't that be stupid. There are so many forums, it could have been any number?
So because it's not even a certainty, or absolute that it's us who's being talked about (and I'm getting tied up because I tend to think the whole thing is a fabrication from beginning to end) why would we feel the need to defend ourselves. It wasn't addressed to us. Some types just love creating 'situations' where there aren't any. Everything gets quiet and comfortable and someone has to construct another issue.
Quote DR Grossman above, "Let me remind everyone that this board is a place to share experience with voicelessness and to give and receive support." We're here for each other to discuss our own personal issues and what we've learned along the way. That's where it should stay.
On that other thread some spin-doctor has put just about everybody commenting on that thread into defense mode imagining that are being picked on and persecuted. Why? Why indeed?
I bought this thread up to say it's not our problem, and if it is true then I think it was insensitive, to put it mildly to lift it. Haven't we got enough real issues here with our own participants. If some other person actually did write the post on the other site, then they aren't here to defend themselves, are they? So that's not fair-play in my opinion!
And my final comment is that if it is a 'Kosher' post by Anon it's still not right to do it. I don't think many of us would like it if some of our personal stories we've posted got lifted and discussed on other forum's around the world, and if I we found out it had happened to us how would we feel. I know I wouldn't like it. I can see how it can start a flame-war between boards and what a waste of life that would be. There's way too much supposition going on with this one topic and I think it would be a good one to let die. Which of course should be the outcome because it's not our post.
