What follows is a continuation of Knapp's delusional discussions on Facebook, the first of which he posted on August 25, 2011. He begins the following Facebook thread on August 26, 2011, at 6:40 pm. It is the third of five similar Facebook threads started by Knapp.
Some of Knapp's then or recent clients again come to Knapp's defense. Had the roles been reversed I would have been right with them defending Knapp. I too, at one time trusted him and had previously defended him on multiple occasions on the internet.
Knapp had begun his harassment toward M***** P******* on August 25. She addressed him privately and Knapp took it all public on his CHSCA website.
Knapp is the one who started this fiasco and continued it; not M*****.
M***** addresses Knapp's accusations against her here: John Knapp, LMSW: Timeline of My Very Limited Contacts With Him.
At the time of Knapp's attempted public humiliation, M***** had been battling a (real) smear campaign against her that had been going on for a couple years due in part to M******'s activism against attachment and other similar therapies involving coercive restraint of children. Knapp posted on his Facebook thread a search on M*****'s name which brought up the false online posts against M*****.
M***** took action against the (unrelated-to-Knapp) smear campaign here: M***** P*******: The Truth. M***** has excellent information on how to stand up to cyberbullying here: CYBER ABUSE AWARENESS.
M****** never stated empty threats toward Knapp. She informed Knapp that she would be reporting Knapp's actions to his Licensing Board, which she did. That isn't a threat, it is a fact.
I was out backpacking without internet service when Knapp began his online harassment and defamatory statements. After I was off the trail and had read what he has posted thus far, I called the NY state investigator who had opened a case regarding Knapp after I filed a formal complaint against him in September, 2010. M***** indeed had reported Knapp's behavior along with supplying copies of his post(s). The investigator said to me on the phone, "We have closed the investigation and I am sending the suggested charges to the prosecutor. I suggest you secure a lawyer."
Within a couple weeks of August 26, 2011, Knapp turns on some of his supporters and they too become victims of his verbal rage and twisted accusations.
Around the same time that Knapp was engaging this online conversation, he was also being taken to small claims court in the city where he then resided, Malone, NY. A previous employee was suing him for non-payment. The court ruled in favor of the employee. Knapp was served the judgement, and then he skipped state. He never paid that previous employee. The judgement is still outstanding as of December, 2012.
I entitle this Facebook dialog, Knapp's "throw-punches-based-on-false-allegations-at-M***** thread ."

Is this an example of the sort of "healing" your organization promotes?

I was about to address that as well, A***** but you dictated it perfectly. The fault lies with whomever decided they would continue this nonsense. He is doing no more healing than a shaman with a peace pipe right now as it is not his intention. YOU, Ms. P*******, are damaging the health of him, those around him, and ultimately those who he is and might end up helping.

Thanks! I'm afraid I'm so pissed off in this moment that I can't see straight. Thanks for loaning me some of your eloquence.

You are quite welcome, John M Knapp Lmsw :) Just so you know you cannot tag from a phone! I'm dealing with this now, as well. Suddenly and fully in my face. Not pleasant. You have my ultimate support.

Hey, John. When we get so upset over things like this, we are letting others control us. Yes, it is a pain in the ass. Yes, they are trying to hurt you. But for those of use that have been in a cult or cult-like religion, do we really need anyone else exerting any level of control over us any more? Don't let this M***** person (or anyone else) control your emotions (i.e. sap your joy and peace), no matter what she does. Be the better person, deal with what you have to and move on (when possible).

@a***** LOL. So now I am responsible for John's health? What will I be made responsible for next? Hurricane Irene?

@John For the record so I don't get accused of harassment again, you did invite me to have public exchanges with you, hence these postings. However, I'm done responding to you now and instead of sent my concerns about your postings about your former client and me, to your state board, since you still put the initials after your name.
