> people who are just plain nuts

Are you suggesting that it's "plain nuts" to be against private ownership of land?

As someone who somewhat supports public land ownership (of the Georgism variety), I think you'd have to be plain nuts to use that belief to justify discouraging others to use the word 'landlord'. Especially considering I hear the word more from people who oppose land ownership than from anyone else. I'm more inclined to believe that this is about gender.
Exactly. One won't eliminate the concept by eliminating the word to describe the concept.
And the new concept is property owner can be of any gender so change the word that points out to one particular gender. When did change become so difficult in this society? Ha!!
