The following is a case of false portrayal in the previous
post:
"If you want their help, calling people psychopaths will
not get it."

I have called only the people that use psychopathic
behaviors such as false portrayal psychopaths. I have never
stated that anyone was a psychopath without basing it upon
specific psychopathic behaviors.

The rest of the post was adequately civilized though.

I understand my original post in it's entirety easily, and
english is my first language. It therefore seems to me that
other people should understand it as easily too.

Terms that consist of combined words, like
'false-portraying' have obvious meaning and are far more
efficient and intelligent to use than their alternative- a
long phrase which often requires a restructuring of the
sentence in order to contain them.
