I feel like I am being judged for using a common term to describe one possible explanation for poor judgement. (if it is hurtful to use the word 'poor' as well, then there is really no way to even discuss the matter).

I changed the title of the thread from 'character flaw' for 'poor judgement', which is a very common association and not one I invented, to 'character anomaly', which is not a common expression at all but seems less likely to incur judgemental responses, but there is still the word 'poor' in front of judgement, and that could also be a 'loaded term'...
