What words or phrasing are especially insulting do you think?

2. I don't know if any word or phrase is bad

I've been known to call myself batshit crazy with fair regularity. To me it is more when people discount my reasoning with references to my psychological state, or use it to insulate themselves from criticism. There are phrases that seem to follow along with that attitude that in another context would be quite innocuous. Here's an example right here.

I think the dismissive attitude is much worse than the language used. I wonder how close we are nowadays to the reality that "different" is crazy. You're right. We have to look at it on a case by case basis. We have to look at people, not labels. And we have to listen to those people without the labels we hand them.
