Which labels did Swabbie mention that need a scale? I think if I was 'othered' or 'canceled' it would not include a scale of how bad the 'othering' or 'canceling' was.

Micheal, do you have an example for my tired brain today?

I meant all labels. Hard to find absolutes in human behavior. Take the word sociopath. It is actually a sliding scale from not really so bad to outright terrible. Problem is most folks do not understand that and so you stick that label on someone you may lead folks to an entirely different opinion of him than you meant.
