BayLeaf, no offense intended. I actually prefer the term "mad" to other ways of referring to those of use who suffer from various non-standard mental states. The therm has the weight of history and avoids the false sense of certainty of various medicalized terms. Also, I included myself -- both in the category of madness and among those who post here. Finally, my phrase was meant ironically: in the context of the conversation I was trying to highlight the very real social and ethical issue of how to treat people who are experiences psychosis.
