It does clearly state that if you're seeking help about someone who has the disorder, to kindly use the Relationship or Caregivers forum for it.
And yes, I see that Matt posted the link too, but I'm still linking it anyway as my response is based on that thread.
The fact is, even though the OP isn't being derogatory... it's about someone else, and someone who isn't diagnosed with NPD. By posting and listing off all of the horrible things that this person has done... it's indirectly going "This person is horrible=they must be NPD=NPD people are all horrible". The forum is for people who are diagnosed with NPD or have at least self-diagnosed themselves with it - and are seeking support for themselves. Whether that support in their threads comes from other people who have NPD or others who do not have NPD is fine.
But the OP in this thread does not have NPD, and does not suspect that they have NPD. They suspect that their mother does. When the thread is about someone else, it belongs in Caregivers or Relationships. Sometimes Survivors of Abuse. |

There is an inherent ambiguity in the the text in which I state that NPD or any diagnosis cannot be and has not been ascertained.

No it does not implicate NPD.
There is no deduction in there stating that horrible must implicate NPD. There is a question as to whether this type of behavior is indicative of NPD in some capacity.
This was never stated.
There is nothing in my post stating that this must = anything with any definitiveness that would imply equivalence.

I've restricted all comments to "she" as in one element of the subset of all possible people with NPD'ers.
All the equivalences are not equivalences bashed sheerly on the ambiguity that I made sure to include so that such equivalences are not stated.
While I admit it may be better off in other fora based upon responses here, I am not following this logic as equivalences are by very nature unequivocal.
I believe she may have NPD could mean: she could have BDD, QTP, X14 or J27.

I will be moving this, but I do not feel ashamed for posting this here as there is no direct breach. If you feel as though there was, please report it as per forum protocol.
