There is a real difference, as I see it, between calling someone who actually has developmental problems, "retarded" and calling you the same. I would not do the former, but it seems like the word (which is descriptive of a condition) when applied to someone who has no such problems is not or should not be offensive. Again, would the person who called you on it be offended if you made a joke of "slow," "mentally handicapped," "differently-abled of the brain," etc? Is it never okay to accuse someone who clearly has no mental problems of having them? If so, I disagree.

And you can have the last word because this a mentally handicapped person's conversation.

If you had any balls and said the type of shit you say through socks or IM, irl, you'd getted treated like fly-covered shit. But we both know you would never unload your tripe irl for fear of being completely shunned.

Didn't you ask me not to bring her into this since she hasn't weighed in? Either way, you need to recount the dissenters and then rally your socks because you're way behind the "dissenters" right now.

eta: My bad. I see ppnyc has weighed in in the expected manner. That's one.

We'll never get to 5k if you keep killing the board.
