What DOES constitute gaslighting is you desperately trying to convince people reading this forum that your words are true (by using their own insecurities against them), when they most certainly are not.
I am not "lying" ~ desperately or otherwise. My words are true. If people don't agree with me, so be it. Their "insecurities" are of no interest to me: I'll leave the fretting about that to you. If you don't agree with me, so what? If you keep using the word "gaslighting" to refer to stuff you disagree with, you are misusing the word.
@fmf saidMore gaslighting, what hubris.

That's not how I'm using it, obviously.
Your gaslighting consists of trying to form others opinions to what you prefer them to believe about you, instead of the truth. And isn't that what lies are? A sort of "counter-truth"?
@suzianne saidYou seem to have difficulty processing disagreement. My opinions are not "lies". My opinions are honest and candid. People can make of them what they will. No one is a victim of "gaslighting" ~ by me ~ here. Why are you always, always, always playing the victim card?

@fmf saidIt's not simple "disagreement", though, is it?

You are always, always, playing yourself against all comers, but you can never quite get it right.
You lie about me constantly, and yet you expect me to roll over and accept it. Furthermore, you expect people to believe what you say. "Honest and candid"? What a laughable statement. Calculated and vicious, is what you mean. But that doesn't quite project your favored "air of truth", does it. Try not lying.
And what victim card? It's not just me that you're gaslighting, it's the entire forum. Red was right, he was entirely spot-on with his learned exposition of your behavior. As a result, you didn't sleep until you had, entirely fitting with his evaluation, gaslit the entire forum into paying him no mind.
I suspect that when you finally, finally!, get your wish of everyone agreeing with you, that with no challenge left to you, you start attacking your fake friends. No one can say they weren't warned.
Have fun in your stinky sandbox.
