[QUOTE="The Liturgist, post: 77363663, member: 424341"] You didn’t; much less did you gaslight. It is an absurd accusation. Also in my previous post I forgot to mention to your accuser that the act of telling someone their statements are untruthful can itself be used as a form of gaslighting, in that it represents a challenge to the presumptive fidelity of our perception of reality, which is intrinsic to the idea of gaslighting. Essentially gaslighting can, as i am sure you are aware, and thus I write this not for your benefit but rather as an explanation for other readers, be defined as an abuse process wherein, through various deceipts and manipulations, someone is provoked into questioning and eventually into not trusting their own perception of reality, believing their natural senses and their memory to be untrustworthy. Thus it represents an extremely potent manipulative tool. By the way, before the verb attained its current level of popularity I did have the pleasure of viewing the classic 1944 film Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman, and I very highly recommend it, especially if one enjoys classic cinema. I particularly liked John Cotten’s performance in it (I am somewhat of a fan of his). In general I really like movies from the 1940s; they tended to be spectacularly good, particularly when one considers that for much of the decade the worst war in human history thus far was raging. My favorite period is probably a combination of the era of the epic films from the 1950s into the early 1970s and the overlapping period of the early works of various auteur directors who are still with us, such as the dozen or so incredibly talented directors closely acquainted with Francis Ford Coppola. However the 1940s directly enabled that, and also gave us its own spectacular films with a distinct flavor, for example, the “Film Noir” cinema such as the classic Dark Passage with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. We may disagree on religion, but we clearly agree on science, and perhaps we might also share other interests like the cinema or the arts. [/QUOTE]
