I will speak for myself, but when I hear the term radical Christian or right wing extremist, it definitely makes me perceive the person as a nut job before have a chance to read the story. Ultra Orthodox is exactly the same.

I think Ultra Orthodox is looked at like Christian Fundamentalist. I don't think either of those imply radical or right-wing extremist, which are linked to violence.

I think ultra is less than both. But that's just my take on the word.

Honest answer. Basically the way they dress. They look at themselves as more religious.
When I went to a DO I drove through Williamsburg. First thing that came to mind was Ultra Orthodox.

If you are going to have a beer, have one with taste.

Well... when you associate us with piss, I can see why offence should be taken.

I wear a wool blanket under my shirt even when it's hot out, have never eaten a Hersheys or Reeses, and I've never trimmed my beard.
So...what am I :D

I never heard it being used, but if it was I'd consider it's a derogatory term.

That works, though those 3 things are probably not practiced by 95% of those who consider themselves Orthodox.
