Nutjob need not only be applied to people who are not functioning. The term is very properly applied to people who have nutty ideas. Folks who think they've had sex with aliens are, imo, nutjobs- at least on that issue. And it is perfectly appropriate to call someone so afraid of homosexuals a nutjob if she thinks you can "teach" someone to be homosexual. All the research to date shows the proclivity is established very early (probably in utero, due to hormone exposure). I think it's fair to call someone so out of touch with science a "nutjob". Some cultural "norms" are nutty- at least if you assess nuttiness, as some of us do, based on one's contact with reality as it can be expressed by objective measurable data.
