That’s the pain of the whole exercize.

At least initially he wasn’t calling ANYONE schizophrenic, but comparing a host of behaviors to schizophrenia.

The People Who Hate Ludwig Club(tm) took that and decided that he was diagnosing specific people with the disorder, and used it as an avenue of attack.

Actually my friend I was not diagnosing, as I am not a psychiatrist, but I was using it more strongly than a mere comparison. The people who are the subject of this thread are clearly mentally imbalanced and given that they are divorced from reality and violently delusional, from my understanding of what schizophrenia means as a word, the label fits.

Again, if someone who actually knows about this and is a trustworthy source of information, i.e. not Walter, can tell me how the definition does not fit, I will be happy to take it as a learning experience.
