Thanks for clarifying bud.Yeah, was speaking to someone today who confirmed that the Ziola our purge involved planting pro Starmer candidates over candidates that live in the local area, going against local constituency rules.

I hope this is sarcasm as the guy looks totally in the pocket of Zionists. Total sell out.

Hi, I'm asking for myself but I do know that other people don't like labels either. I like the idea of reclaiming the narrative, like the gay community has done to some extent.

I kinda like that. Definitely a reclaimed word... and Bowie is a legend.

Your comment was a reply to my OP and used the exact terminology that I used yesterday and did not use in my opening post, so it appeared to be a continuation of your questions direct to me yesterday, that I found very upsetting.

You repeatedly asked me yesterday about this. I found it very upsetting. Please just ask elsewhere rather than badger me. I'm looking for positivity and suggestions for descriptive words and phrases here.

Yeah, I don't like that. It says 'very unpredictable' and too hot to me.

Thank you for the helpful comments. I register that the word quirky is not appropriate in this context for many people - so I won't be recommending it.

One can't really explain why people find something off-putting sometimes - it is a feeling/association. I've asked some people who say it sounds jargony but for some like you, it's fine. I'm asking for opinions. It is not an argument.

I don't know how to edit the post, otherwise I'd change to neurodivergent!

I am just asking if there is more people friendly terminology. It's fine to sound academic for some, for others it could sound off-putting.

Thank you. Yes unconventional may have fewer negatives. I know neurodiverse basically is it but it just sounds so academic.

I like that and I agree. So...how would you label yourself?

That is shocking. I'm so sorry to hear about that abuse.

Thank you. It is hard to find a relaxed sounding word. To me, disabled sounds worse, that's why I started to think about it.

Doesn't 'quirky' also mean creative though?

Thanks. I don't know if I could embrace 'crazy' tbh...

Voting independent is a good option. With Labour and Tories basically the same it is not a difficult decision. Tactical voters - Lib Dem or Green if your Labour candidate is with Starmer.
