I've been infracted now for calling someones post (or thinking behind it) "delusional". Apparently it speaks to mental state and is against the rules, fine, lesson learned but it cost me a two week suspension. Considering if I wanna go back upstairs at all, but no big on that, the rule is the rule.
What bothers me is the frequent use of "TDS" or "Trump hate" to dismiss folks. In my mind it's exactly the same as calling another poster's post "delusional". "Deranged", or "derangement", are both mighty close. It's implying that anyone who dislikes the president, does so for irrational reasons, and is mentally "deranged" it's a personal attack and I think it should be an infraction if it's not. I see some posters post it several times a day. It really adds nothing to the discussion.
On that note, I'd like also to ask does "insane" qualify? Insane is not an actual mental helth term, it's legal one. Anyway, don't wanna split hairs or complain about my situation, now I know, but I think "TDS" out to be banned when aimed at other posters. If "snowflake" isn't ok, and I hear it isn't than neither shoud be TDS. Thanks
