I put this issue clearly into the same box as I put the use of CPTSD as a diagnosis, which is perpetuated myth and does not exist as a diagnosis vs. the correct term, complex trauma, which is real, known and actual. The same as self-diagnosing, the same as people coming onto this forum without PTSD and saying they have it, and the list goes on and on.
What happens in real life is not necessarily equal to writing online. It is like people on Facebook who destroy a persons life by saying untruths. If it is factual, ie. a person you are talking about is a diagnosed sociopath, no worries... you are not making false assumptions, which is a negative thinking style.
What I don't endorse, never have on this website, is the perpetuation of harmful acts by any member with false information once known it is false, ie. via challenging, admission, etc.
I have banned people from this site for misleading others, because they sent emails to someone they befriended, admitting they didn't have PTSD, didn't have all the trauma they wrote about... they just wanted to makeup stories and such to be part of something. Whilst that is a problem in itself, it is not the scope of this website nor my problem, nor something I can deal with in a personal manner with an anonymous person across the globe. My control stops at allowing the person to continue here or not continue lying to others here, after I have become aware of it and evidence exists.
People with this false labelling problem, they don't provide evidence. It is like asking someone to verify with the person who diagnosed them with CPTSD, and ask for the validity of that diagnosis for insurance and legal purposes. Suddenly they discover they don't have CPTSD, they have been diagnosed with PTSD + BPD or Dissociative disorder, then told via perpetuation a false diagnostic term which has zero diagnostic criterion, hence the diagnoses they actually have they where given based on assessed, legal, ethical, doctrine. When CPTSD exists as a diagnosis, that is when I will change my stance on it.
My control starts and stops at this site, to what is allowed, what is stopped. What happens within peoples communities is not within my control. So using local aspects is not a justification in my view to allow speculation and perpetuation of false information or acts here, once they are brought to staff attention.
