Dr. Jean Mercer has never held a license, and has never seen a patient.

In one of her recent blog entries on Psychology Today, she opines, at length, about children adopted from “third world” orphanages.

Does Dr. Mercer have any firsthand experience with adoptions, orphanages, and has she actually ever been to a “third world” country?

Mercer’s blog has attracted a great deal of controversy. When too many pointed questions are asked, they are removed from the blog. On occasion, comments have been disabled altogether.

Mercer is affiliated with a fringe advocacy group. Instead of actual advocacy, however, the group publishes unsubstantiated anecdotal accounts of abuse and maligns licensed mental health practitioners.

One of the participants in this group is Larry Sarner. Sarner holds bachelor’s degrees in political science and mathematics. He is not qualified as a mental health professional. His activities seem to have been limited to the failed invention of voting machines, which resulted in his personal financial ruin.

Warning: The posting here on Indymedia was posted by the notorious Scientology crime syndicate which has been posting libel in the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup for about three months now.

This is what Scientology does. This is what Scientology is all about.

Monica Pignotti continues to astonish with her hypocrisy.

Fine, she’s managed to identify what cyberharassment is. It would have been easier for her to ask some people close to her, as they’re quite expert at it.

Just look at “wayward radish” on LiveJournal. A typical article is “such and such happened, it is bad” (and sometimes it is). But, then, the “bad thing” is associated with the name of a person who was not involved. That’s false light libel.

Then, Larry Sarner and Linda Rosa. Yes, no one disputes what happened to Candace Newmaker was horrible. But, not all of the people on the “Advocates for Cyberharassment Techniques” website had anything to do with it. Quite the converse. At least a few have condemned those responsible.

Jean Mercer. She’s using her “bully pulpit” Psychology Today blog to attack businesses. She even admits, in at least once case, to not having had full access to information. Mercer also censors comments asking pointed questions about her background and that of her associates.

Finally, Charly D. Miller. She makes utterly unfounded claims, and has attacked at least one physician who is now suing her.

It is quite true Monica Pignotti is not any of these people but she supports their work.

This is hypocrisy on multiple levels.

First, she ought not complain about untrue comments when true comments are made and then depicted by her as defamatory. If she would refute such claims as the Sarner voting machine debacle, many people would read it with interest.

Second, she mocks herself. What these people do is most certainly authority based! They claim these are “protected survivors’ tales” so no examination of their veracity can be accomplished without compromise.

In one case, it was claimed that a therapist charged US$20,000.

It would be so easy-simply show the therapist’s invoice, eradicating the name of the patient.

But that’s not happening. The claim is made and allowed to stand without substantiation.

Thus, it is shown that Monica Pignotti is a hypocrite. She is an active supporter of cyberstalking, libel and defamation.

Moreover, she, herself, is an opponent of free speech. Any parody or criticism of her results in judicial complaints to hosting companies, news outlets and the like.

It is not, therefore, hyperbole to assert that Monica Pignotti is unfit to teach.

If Monica Pignott had a time machine, she'd use it to go back and keep the Internet from being invented.

Why? So no one would find out the truth about her, Jean Mercer, Larry Sarner, and Linda Rosa?
