I have not been referring to "clinical delusion".

Why are you responding to a post directed at Dive?

@fmf said
Are there really no such things as different levels of delusion?

Not in the sense that you are using.

The only thing that really matters to him, I suspect, is that he has her back.

I think Dive thought you had his back, until you publicly described him as delusional.

Like I said, it has seeped into every day conversation.

Actually, if you look at the etymology, the words deluded and delusion predate their use as mental health terms by centuries.

Why does he need me to "have his back"? My friendship with him is rooted in honesty and candour.

Of course there are.

You've never seen her use it? Really?

I probably have, but don't recall a specific example. Again, I have seen nobody use the word correctly. (In the same way I have seen nobody use schizophrenic in meaningful way when it is thrown around as an insult).

I am contributing to the conversation the three of us are having.

The best bit of fun so far in the thread is FMF throwing you under the bus and calling you deluded. 😀

Weird post.

Would that be why you've never seen fit to tackle her on it? Or when WoofWoof has used it? Or Very Rusty? Or Kevin Eleven? etc. etc. Simply never worthy of comment?
