re: #466 Talking Point Detective

I can get behind that. I think that “moonbat” and “wingnut” would just as well be left out, also. Also “denier.” Not to say that I am pretending that I’ll ever actually get to the point of being that careful across the board in a fully uniform manner. I applaud moving away from those terms - I’m noting that you seem to apply similar terms rather liberally at times - in fact, you seem intent on deliberately seeking out phenomena that you can characterize with those terms sometimes, and in my view, conflating distinct phenomena in doing so.

Ah, I think I spotted our difference here. I’m for including all of them, RoP, Fundie, Moonbat, Wingnut, etc. However I can see you point about moving away from those terms in general could be helpful but I still prefer keeping them and using them all liberally (no pun intended) as long as they don’t become a source for hate and bigotry. I think it’s better if everybody can take a bashing and accept their own side is open to insults, and possibly even deserves them.
