I have good friends who engage is saying vicious (and true) things about the magas. During one discussion, one guy was defining the cult in levels, from those who originally supported him, to those who voted for him without really thinking. He was blistering those he called the "OGs." Another fellow said that, if you called them those things, it wouldn't hurt their feelings ..... it would simply energize their hatreds. I think that is a valid point.
