This definition fails to convey the sense that a denialist is not simply a 'denier' of some political proposition. The meaning needs to convey the sense that a denialist is either someone who is in a psychological state of denial - unable to accept the truth of the proposition. The term is derogatory and someone called a denialist might not actually be 'in denial', but the word itself isn't neutral on this. —This unsigned comment was added by HisRuntyDogma (talkcontribs) at 01:19, 11 December 2011 (UTC).Reply

It's marked as derogatory; I'm not sure what else we can do. Equinox 11:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
