It’s all good.

Cato and I will likely always be OK because he knows how to debate on an intellectual level. Our tit for tats are fun and invigorating even when I do completely disagree with him.

I can see that you used schizophrenia as a metaphor. Or simile. Did you use the work “like”?

Never mind.

The off-putting part is when you take it beyond the metaphor and bring in the DSM as if your diagnosis of humankind were more than a figure of speech.

Illness As Metaphor by Susan Sontag explores just how insidious such comparisons can become.
