My God.What Language. Are you normal Mr/Ms CO2000. I read from your posts and others that Tony is an elderly person.In India we never speak of elderly people with so much disrespect.We don't call our father as 'my old man'.
Whatever be their view point, we call them Mr. or sir.This is how we speak.Even in our languages we have respectful terms like 'Ji' ( In Hindi and other north Indian Languages) Avaru in Kannada and Vaaru , meeru etc in Telugu (as suffix).It is unfortunate that you have to call them nut case,wacko,Dumbo etc.
If you follow a Indian Guru,I think it is better to follow the basic Indian courtesy and manners.
Please don't start using bad words against me.I am not in the picture but a recent observer. In India most people call Blacks as Negros ( they will respectfully say 'that Negro gentleman') ,not knowing that it is a derogatory remark.To us calling someone Black is an insult.
So it is better to adjust to the place and time than hurt people's sentiments.
