"The word 'cult,' when used by *anyone*, is a thought-stopper. I'm 
fairly sensitive to it because I've had to fight such epithets....

"It's sorta like calling any American who was against the rush to war 
after 9/11 a 'traitor.' The intent of hurling the epithet is to 
demean the person being called the name, to encourage other people in 
the audience to brand the person with that label, and thus to 
undercut anything that the targeted victim says by calling his or her 
credibility into question. 

"You wouldn't like it much if the epithet 'cultist' was applied to 
you, right? If that's so, you might think about not trying to brand 
others with it. Just my opinion..."
