From now on, I will be using this term to refer to those people (including myself when appropriate) who are not able to distinguish reality from fantasy, for whatever reason. This ranges from the operational reality-challenged (like those who believe in supernatural entities, for example, and can still walk around and pass for normal) to the curl-up-in-a-ball-paranoid-delusional reality-challenged.

It's okay. It happens to the best of us, on occasion.

Wow. I could SO not write this anyplace else. Thank you A/N!

I agree. PC is a very silly thing. And the email I get from insane fundies goes into my folder labeled "trash" or "spam"

Considering that I hold that political correctness is nothing more than an oxymoron, I will disagree with your term, reality-challenged the same way I don't refer to myself as a physically & mentally challenged veteran but still use the term handicapped veteran.

Being a firm believer in clear, concise and accurately decriptive english, I'll stick with "nutjob".
