  MAD, adj.  Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence;
  not conforming to standards of thought, speech and action derived by
  the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority;
  in short, unusual.  It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad
  by officials destitute of evidence that themselves are sane.  For
  illustration, this present (and illustrious) lexicographer is no
  firmer in the faith of his own sanity than is any inmate of any
  madhouse in the land; yet for aught he knows to the contrary, instead
  of the lofty occupation that seems to him to be engaging his powers he
  may really be beating his hands against the window bars of an asylum
  and declaring himself Noah Webster, to the innocent delight of many
  thoughtless spectators.
