@fmf saidHaving worked the last 25+ years in mental health it would be pretty remarkable if I didn't have a good understanding of delusional thought. - And no, I have not sought to diagnose anybody in this thread with delusions. That is entirely on Dive and yourself and your amateur quackery. It is not even my role to diagnose mental health disorders in my job. For you two to do so here is laughable.
Do you believe that Ghost of a Duke is "a mental health practitioner" who can "diagnose" mental health issues?
Nobody in this thread is remotely delusional. People have their own reasons for believing what they do.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI welcome your climb down, at last, from pretending to have professional expertise. Now you are just her friend who ~ in the face of her years of paranoid angry self-obsessed trolling and obviously shifting tall tales ~ says stuff that you probably don't even believe simply because you "have her back".

@fmf saidThat climb down riff is tiresome. Of course I have professional expertise in mental health. I literally just told you that has been my area of work for the last 25+ years. (In various roles). Do only psychiatrists and therapist have professional expertise in your book?

Even as a 'non psychiatrist' I am experienced enough to reject your amateur attempts to dismiss people as delusional and recognise how particularly silly it is to try and do so over the internet. - People often make accusations on this site, especially in the heat of argument, that they probably wouldn't make with a calm head. Dive, for example, does this on a frequent basis. (And I don't see you accusing him of being delusional).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou're just someone who makes claims about his so-called expertise while all you are doing is covering for an obviously rather troubled friend you have made in cyberspace.

A rather inconvenient cat has been out of the bag since her post at the bottom of page 25. You either haven't been bothered to read it, or you want to pretend you haven't read it, or you are busy thinking up something to say so that you can be seen, performatively, to "have her back" regardless of the cost to your credibility.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidShe has clearly told several delusional stories, two of which she is now trying to walk back. It's either that, or it's some kind of Walter Mitty-type thing that involves fabrications that swell up and swell back down depending on her mood and how self-aggrandizing she feels the need to be.

@fmf saidThat one of her sparring partners was a navy seal? Is that the cat?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo. There's no need to pretend you don't get it.

@fmf saidThese 'stories' were shared before my time on the site, stories that you can not link to. Instead you recount the stories (from 8 to 10 years ago) and expect me to rely on your vivid recollection of them, even when the poster themselves says they are inaccurate. I am also not to factor in the possibility, that due to your endless animosity towards the poster, you haven't embellished them in some way to fit your delusional diagnosis?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI make accusations (about Suzianne’s ludicrous delusional claims about herself) while being hotheaded, is that your position now?
