Grandiosiity and "double-bind"

More "private" language (personal, secret definitions)?  Classically,
"double-bind refers to patterns of communication/interaction in which
(1) verbal and nonverbal messages contradict each other, and (2) there
is some constraint ("taboo") against acknowledgement of the
contradiction. 

 Not familiar with either of these conditions being met in any recent
post, so cannot imagine what is meant by use of the term in kkollin's
post--maybe this is some kind of "battery"? (I'll call it this since
kkollins has usurped normal use of the term "libel").

Or maybe it's just careless "writing"...
