   "Loonie" is a common derogatory term for people suffering mental illness.   
   You should not use it publicly against someone who does, in fact, have such   
   a diagnosis, even if you have some private criteria for applying this

   It was what basically set me off on this current exchange between us.   
   Usually I agree pretty much with what you post.
