I'm a great fan of euphemisms since they allow a polite, socially
acceptable way, of expressing an idea. We don't have to call a person an
asshole, we can say "an adamant individual of an advanced age who enjoys
speaking his mind." See? How nice.

Of course, I'm not using the word "crackpot" in such a way. Any guy
that's hates/uses Google and dislikes the word "guess*" and takes the
time to do research and analysis on the number of times a word is used
and brags about the size of his KF yet can't seem to control his
impulses and feels compelled to look at posts that displeases him is
pretty much a crackpot of sizable proportions.
