In a rhetorical way, I was citing a common misperception that I get tagged with. regardless of that and for all of your bullshit bobbing and weaving in your response, you know and acknowledge that people can find the "retarded" offensive, it doesn't apply here literally, there are lots of other words that are deragatory that could be argued to be applicable. When I said, I was sensitive to the perceptions of others, because I had been caught in a situation where someone else's perceptions were brought to my attention as being at odds with my intentions. You basically said, as far as I can tell, such things as others perceptions would not make a difference to you as long as you felt your intentions regarding the use of the word were okay.
I am very sensitive to other people's issues with how they are labeled. That is true. I am also sensitive to how words are used in a derogatory way when describing someone. And I may be wrong on this one. However, you have not outlined a reason, other than someone told you not to do it, that is convincing to me. I don't always agree with people when they tell me a term is offensive. I'm sure I do more than others, but I disagree with you on this one.

Also, you might want to ask yourself why you so frequently get tagged with that particular common misperception you mentioned.

Awwww. I see now. If you wanted me to say that you are not an insensitive asshole, why didn't you just say so? You didn't have to go through all of this. And it's "hypocrisy," retard.
