WOW... yet again with the gaslighting

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.[1][2]

And how does us telling you that you don't understand the concept of "gaslighting" sow seeds of doubts to such extend that you question your own memory, perception and sanity?

Apparently it's just fine for you to pretend that Walt is on meds and wearing diapers.

Hypocrite.
