You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
- ihsw 13y agoNot at all, paranoia is simply a mistrust without justification. One can be cautionary and paranoid at the same time. There are formalized medical definitions of paranoia being a mental condition, but many words have informal definitions that complement their formal definitions.
- jere 13y ago>Not at all, paranoia is simply a mistrust without justification. So does he or doesn't he have justification to be mistrustful? The quoted sentence claims the former. >many words have informal definitions that complement their formal definitions. Yea, I wouldn't have made the post without checking the informal definition first.
- ImprovedSilence 13y agoJust because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
- tankbot 13y agoCertainly he has justification. Also, clever use of a Princess Bride quote. Inconceivable!
