Is Bob delusional nonetheless because you say he is?

Bob would be delusional as far as I'm concerned. You wouldn't have to agree. Your disagreement wouldn't alter my perspective.
What if the Yeti puts in an appearance?

Ah, so you do get to throw delusional around like a custard tart?
No. I wouldn't say so. Over the last 15+ years here I have used it very sparingly. So no, not "like a custard tart" but I understand the rhetorical gimmick you are using here.


Thread warning:

'Delusions' are being thrown around like custard tarts in this thread. FMF has hit Dive squarely in the face, and inexplicably, Dive has hit himself in the face.

It will mean I was wrong not to have believed Bob.

You have said it 148 times in the last 2 weeks.

I've been keeping a log.

And been too quick to call him delusional?

This is the third or fourth time you have used the same fatuous metaphor in a few pages. Perhaps you are bored and just want to end with a gesture of condescension.

Called the Trump syndrome if you say it is true enough times, hopefully most people will believe it. 🙂

Or perhaps I really like custard tart.


(It is actually the perfect metaphor for you trivializing delusional thinking).

Well, I don't know about "too quick". The longest I could wait would be my entire life. But, we just have to call it how we see it when we see it.

This might be the moment to bail out having previously stated your view coearly if you now think a fifth mention of the same rhetorical gimmick is all you have left.

If somebody believes something you don't, but you are unable to aptly evidence they are wrong, you are not in a position to call them delusional.

I haven't been trivializing it at all.

Let's be honest sir, you should have bailed out a long time ago...

Of course I am. I am using the word delusion in its everyday sense. I am not pretending to be a psychiatrist.
