Just so no one tries to gaslight their own definitions of 'Equity' . . .
equity (n): (a) The state or quality of being just and fair; (b) Something that is just and fair; (c) Justice achieved not simply according to the strict letter of the law but in accordance with principles of substantial justice and the unique facts of the case.
Gaslighting is something a person does to another person or group of people. It doesn’t make sense to accuse someone of “gaslighting a definition of something”.

Maybe it's a minor point, but where in the world did you get your definition of the verb "gaslight" from, Fnord?
Psychology Today provided this one:
Gaslighting: An insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true . . .So posting false definitions of 'Equity', and trying to pass them off as the real thing would be a form of gaslighting.
So you’re capable of looking up the definition of gaslighting, but you still managed to use the word inappropriately in a sentence.

Ah yes, another one of your copy-and-paste remarks.
The problem with this remark is that it could just as easily be applied to virtually any other post in the PPR sub-forum, including several of your own.
Why are any of us posting our opinions on an internet forum instead of going out and helping to change the world? Well, as Yugoslav1945 said, posting online is a step towards promoting the sort of changes one wants. Maybe not the most productive step, but it’s better than nothing.
