I worked with a guy who had been a Jungian analyst back in the 60s or 70s before becoming a programmer. He went off on the best tangents.

I probably shouldn't have said "moonbat," it's just awfully convenient shorthand. I've cited occultists in threads about skepticism twice in the last month. Through comics and music I picked up a taste for that stuff myself, though I've never been a believer.

I like the term "moonbat" although some would surely find it offensive. I will use it the term in respectful silence when a certain close relative says she prefers to work with her acupuncturist and take Chinese medicine rather than getting an ultrasound or medical diagnosis for heavy post-menopausal vaginal bleeding.

Argue with me hubski, I am always interested in being righted.

Another friend uses the phrase "Here's where our world views diverge," when moonbattology is proferred. I should use that phrase myself.
