956.0. "paranoia minus delusion" by SSDEVO::EGGERS (Anybody can fly with an engine.) Fri Apr 03 1992 12:57

    My dictionary says:
    
    paranoia - ... characterized by delusions of persecution or of
    grandeur, strenuously defended by the afflicted with apparent logic and
    reason.
    
    So, I need a word with the same definition except that "delusions"
    is replaced by "actual cases"
    
    ????? - ... characterized by actual cases of persecution,
    strenuously defended by the afflicted with logic and reason.

	Doesn't "persecuted" say it exactly? What's the matter, is this too grand a word for you? Huh? Too logical? Quit picking on me.
956.3		SSDEVO::EGGERS	Anybody can fly with an engine.	`Sun Apr 05 1992 20:34`	1
	Persecuted? Duhhh? I guess. It was too obvious. Thanks.

	Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Nick

	Acording to M. Roget, there is also "harassed," "oppressed," "harried," "hounded," and "tormented." Work getting to you, huh? -- Cliff
956.6		SSDEVO::EGGERS	Anybody can fly with an engine.	`Mon Apr 06 1992 13:44`	3
	Actually, my basenote request was an outgrowth of the DCU conference, concerning whether the reformers there are paranoid or in actuality "persecuted, harassed, oppressed, harried, hounded, or tormented."
