This screenshot is from one of the numerous blogs maintained by Monica Pignotti.
She is alluding to scattershot questions asked of a pair of therapists offering a workshop on aggression. Pignotti holds no academic position, is not currently a practicing mental health professional, and does, therefore, have no right to demand answers. The logical thing for her to do might be to contact these people.
But read what she has written closely. Pignotti claims that 47 people are somehow helping her “end the days” of this unresponsive individual.
Isn’t that a bit severe?
Pignotti, when it suits her, extols critical thinking and claims to be an expert in the field. It would appear she is an impatient person. Rather than wait for answers to her question, she has made up her mind: this person must be eliminated. She does not call for anything less drastic, she goes straight to a terminal solution.
This is hardly what one would expect from the “Ralph Nader of Psychotherapy” which is how she described herself to an adoption discussion group.
Monica Pignotti is a former Scientologist, a cult known for violence and deception. One hopes that Pignotti is not enforcing some bit of Scientology doctrine here…

She is a fringe zealot. Her involvement in Scientology (ongoing), Thought Field Therapy (where she made a boat load of $) and her involvement with Jean Mercer and Larry Sarner, who are the leaders of the fringe, and discredited, group, Advocates For Children in Therapy, speaks for itself.
