If you're so interested in being able to denounce the existence of the construct of NPD, why not re-invest the energy you've given to posting here into campaigning with members of the DSM committee? I can't imagine they would not be eager to receive the benefit of your obvious authority on the topic...
In the meantime, why should discussion of the topic be so bothersome to you? It's the clearly indicated intention of this subforum. It's sort of like walking into a bar and demanding that everyone drink Shirley Temples.
