I can certainly see why someone with a history of being called crazy for whatever reason might be hurt when someone at works casually calls them "crazy" for something, even if they understand it was meant differently in that context. I think once you know something might accidentally upset someone it's up to you to decide whether you want to take that chance. I try to avoid taking that chance where possible, I really don't like the idea of accidentally hurting someone. I can also see why people are upset about their language being policed. I imagine every generation feels this way as society changes around them. I'm sure there are lots of examples of probably silly things we've policed ourselves out of saying that probably didn't amount to much, but I'm also happy we mostly don't use the pervasive casual racism of the 50's, or the pervasive casual homophobia of when I was kid.
