If you haven't heard of it, then it must not be what a projection-ist does. But it still may not be exactly the right term for what P. does. I use the term to describe people that accuse others of doing specific things that they themselves are actually doing. In cases of denial, they may not consiously -know- they are doing them, but they subconsiously detest what they are doing, and attempt to -project- the action upon their oppoenent.
Did that make any sense?
