This word is already banned, as racial slurs are banned all together as they fall under the personal attack policy, but the word cannot be blocked as the word "Cracker" can also be used when referring to the glutenous snack composed of flour and salt. However, because we use the common sense policy we certainly will not put up with the use of racial slurs, but if someone is using the word when referring to the aforementioned snack then we will not take action.

So basically this vote is pointless. So, why did you vote B on the vote to unblock the word"retard"? If you could simply use common sense and take action when someone uses that word as an insult, rather than using it to mean "to delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment"?? As for this vote though, I say B. Because retard is actually an offensive term whether you are using it purposefully or not. I am not offended when someone says "I'm eating a peanut butter cracker." Useless votes like these retard the progress of the wiki.

Was that offensive? Yes. You can just use the word "slow," or "delay." Ok I understand the word being offensive when using it to refer to things but using it in a sentence like that doesn't really seem that bad. I mean honestly
