re: What’s the boards opinion on the term “gaslighting”

Pretty simple. Imagine someone lying to you and about you to your face and not breaking character and seeming to have every expectation that you will accept it. You know that they are lying and they know that you know that they are lying, and they still continue. And they don’t budge.
And when you rationally attempt to walk this person through it, they deny they did what you just heard and saw them do. Imagine the insanity of someone expecting you to actually live in their false reality. And then , to take it a step further, imagine if they took that false reality to your family and friends and everyone in your sphere, and told them it was fact. And then those people “ flying monkeys” then ran with The Big Lie. So that a false reality of who you were preceded you. That’s the malevolence. It’s when gaslighting becomes reputation destruction and the Big Lie prevails while the truth gets crushed.
The lie and the frame job. That’s essentially what gaslighting is and where it leads.
