The only reason why I posted on the below thread was because you paraphrased something I said here. See below

>I have no desire to silence you - & I'm not sure of what response you want from me - I said abuses occur and it's unfortunate, but it happens. I don't know how to talk about this with you.
I do feel it's being discussed in a general way - & you have said yourself, correct me if I'm wrong - that you are using words generally and vaguely as well (ie. the interchangeability of assess and diagnosis.) I do not wish to engage in war of semantics - & I don't want to negate *your* experience either, but you have stated that I thought you were lying as to events that occurred to you.
I never said you were lying & you did assume that.
