How is that in itself offensive? The word is also used to define a medical condition, but that is not it's original meaning. Obviously we aren't going to allow someone to say "You're a retard." as that's meant as a personal attack and is also an attack on mentally retarded people. But why can we not use a perfectly normal word that is not even a cuss word? It makes no sense. I've been thinking about that, and I'll change my support of unblocking that word to a support for leaving it blocked. So basically no to all.

=l You do realize that was an argument on why he word should be UNblocked..... I know, and I still want it blocked. I /can/ read.
