I appreciate the fact that "nuts" or "crazy" are stimatizing terms.
If we can't ostracize these creeps (IMHO), the LEAST we can do is
stigmatize them.
Living where I do, I know many people the general American population
would consider 'nuts' or 'crazy'. That's a stigmatizing use of the term
applied to people who have a broad variety of social or
personality/psychological problems.
'Nuts' IS planning to commit to a nuclear first strike on Iran.
PTSD or autism (or being involutarily homeless with it's attendant psych
damage) et al, is not that.
'Crazy' IS having an appointed official (Fema's director) order
breakfast as New Orleans goes underwater even as his staffer tells a
frantic contact the director of FEMA doesn't wish to be disturbed while
eating...
A schizophrenic can do better.
