About calling someone delusional if you disagree: harmful. Then some caveats. Nor really important: thinking out loud. Or rather, it is about whether you should tell someone who is delusional that she or he is. I think not (or, again, gradually). Tell them they could just as well take an antipsychotic, since they are not delusional. And later tell them they (probably) were delusional. Again: thinking out loud. Not a response as such, really.

Imho, you can judge such thing only in person you know well.
Like, if I tell you about my life briefly, you'll think i am delusional with all the "paranoia" and throwing myself into things.
Also, not everything is psychiatric delusion. Sometimes it's more skewed thinking. Or cognitive distortion... I didn't study psychology. But I have MA in International relations and let me tell you, history was build on mistakes coming from cognitive distortions... but there are other ways to explain them than broken brain, chemical imbalances and all that.
Thinking that asshole is awesome guy is common mistake. "This might be a good idea" thinking happens to many.
Gah, read some political debate and you can go and diagnose everybody as delusional. What is straight thinking? What is viewing the reality as it is? Imho, "common sense" is often just a delusion shared by majority.
