Clarification on acceptable terms requested
A while back I requested clarification on the frequent use of the "r" word on DU, and that was adequately explained.

Now there is another question of terms used that hurt many, including many DUers:

I would really appreciate administrative clarification on this.

Every step of awareness engenders resistance, but it is clear that we need to progress as a people.

Thank you.

1. I am in favor of greater sensitivity.
And members are welcome to try to educate other members about things they consider insensitive.

But Democratic Underground is not going to forbid our members from using words like crazy, daft, deranged nuts, looney (and looney tunes), neurotic, out of their minds, psychotic, or wacko.
