OK. Look, you people gotta settle this.

I don't want to be a problem child. You have my blessing to use any label you like.

The discussion just caused me to reflect on what comes to mind when I envision those way, way out in left or right field, beyond my perimeter for what is reasonable or debatable. When exposed to the ones on the left, I experience the urge to scratch my head and roll my eyes. When exposed to the ones on the right, the urge is to take a hot bath with lots of strong soap. I don't want to be around either of them. When I think of how to avoid the ones on the left, I think in terms of butterfly nets. For the ones on the right, my mind goes to concertina wire. "Pinhead" goes with butterfly net. It doesn't go with concertina wire.
