    The only issue was the ableism (using mental illness as a dunk or insult is ableism). I wish we had a word for paranoid that didn’t have those implications but we don’t.

      I was the one to bring up “paranoid” initially, because I don’t know what else to call it but “paranoia-jacketing”, when you say someone thinks they’re being gangstalked.

          that was in response to them saying it, i was quoting them. I guess I did say the word technically, but I didn’t bring it up

          it’s zed proclaimer, don’t know who this “z poster” is but its just an smear word like “tankie” or “nazbol”

            I was wrong, went ahead and reapproved them because, in my personal understanding, fault would lie with the first to introduce the term. I’ve been a bit on edge with all the ableism lately and jumped the gun after checking the mod log and seeing “it still going”. Apologies.
