Hi VK and Sam,

I am glad you are adopting "gaslighting." But it is not original with me, although I have used the word for years. It does sum up certain situations nicely, doesn't it. You can even branch out with the word and use it to describe passive-aggressive behavior.

This whole thread thing this morning was a little maddening.

I still think it was a fluke.

Yesterday, when I should have been working hard, I was accusing all of you of corrupting me in that "Somebody, please call the feds" thread. And V'07 tried to warn me that I had been both "besmirched" and "corrupted" here. And she is right. Oh my! And now, maybe I am being gaslighted.

I am here listening to tropicalglen.com on this laptop, reliving the 60's, and still trying to plow through all this office reorganization. And darn it! I keep looking in on all of you. I really must get a life.

Boomer
