Gaslighting is a specific thing. [View all]

Little Miss Persnickity Language Pers9n here again, hoping people will limit their use of "gaslighting" to describe actual instances of gaslighting. The term is thrown around much too loosely. We here at DU can set a good example by not slinging this term to recklessly. Thanks.
