@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo, I said that beliefs in things that are not true are delusional. My stance hasn't been "weakened".
You called him deluded in order to maintain your weakened stance in the thread.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIn the sense I have been using it. I have not been pretending to be a psychiatrist.
Clinically, or in every day use?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidHave I claimed at any point that I have been using the word delusional in any way other than its usual everyday sense?
He provided a link to a mental health definition of delusion.
I guess you missed it.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI haven't been "backed into a corner" and I haven't thrown anyone "under a bus".
5. You realise this includes Dive (who is not only a Christian but has also said he similarly believes in angels). Backed into a corner you announce him as delusional,...and throw him under the bus.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidHow have I "blamed" or "abandoned" divegeester?
To "throw under the bus" is an idiomatic phrase in English meaning to blame or abandon a person for selfish reasons.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWell if you think I have been pretending to be a psychiatrist, then that's a matter for you. I don't see how the word delusion is "wishy washy".
For most of the thread you used 'delusional' without clarifying you only meant it in a every day wishy washy sense.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou haven't explained how I have supposedly "blamed" him or "abandoned" him.
Already answered.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThe "same delusion"? How so? How is it "the same"?
You initially called Suzianne delusional but then in a weakened position abandoned Dive to the same delusion.
@fmf saidOnly you keep banging on about being a psychiatrist. I'm saying you used delusional in a manner to present Suzianne as mentally unstable and as though men in white coats should come and drag her away. Dive has gone even further.
Well if you think I have been pretending to be a psychiatrist, then that's a matter for you. I don't see how the word delusion is "wishy washy".
