I'm glad to see you have stopped doing so.

In what sense have I "stopped". I have indeed described some of Suzianne's posting as delusional and paranoid. But I have been using the words delusional and paranoid in their everyday sense. Nothing has changed.
You have stopped using mental health connotations in your chosen language to belittle people.

Good to see.

Edit: As an aside, why is your every day language so limited? Why the repetition of insult?

Nonsense. But I can see why you are spinning it this way.
I am not "spinning" anything. If you believe that the words delusional and paranoid are NOT everyday English words, then you are making a fool of yourself.

Suzianne's posting is frequently delusional and paranoid. Nothing has changed.

If you believe those words do not have mental health connotations, you are making a fool of yourself. (Over and over again).

It isn't "limited". Some everyday words are just the most apt to use. What would your chosen synonyms for delusional and paranoid be?

Do you use those words to imply she is mentally unstable? - If not, why not broaden your every day vocabulary? Why the repetition of insult?

They don't have have mental health connotations when I use them because, as you know, I use them in their everyday sense.

I don't think you need to find synonyms for them. I just think you need to communicate better.

No. Are you defending her so desparately in this shabby self-prostrating way because you think she posts like someone who is mentally unstable?

If not, why not broaden your every day vocabulary?

What words would you use instead of delusional and paranoid?

No.

I am clearly asking if 'you' use those words to imply she is mentally unstable? - If not, why not broaden your every day vocabulary? Why the repetition of insult?

How about no alternative? How about play the ball and not the person?

Insults? The words delusional and paranoid are descriptors. Why is there so much repetition of the behaviour that warrants them?

I am putting the light on 'you' doing that. Your attempts to reflect that back are a bit weird to be honest.

Play the ball not the person. People asking you to stop weaponizing mental health language are not guilty of the same for doing so.
