"Generally accepted as reality" doesn't it make it non-delusional.
According to both medical and non medical dictionary definitions of the word, yes it does. Sounds like you are trying to make up a new definition of that word as an excuse to keep being demeaning to people you disagree with.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
