Kudos to Beater for being mature and turning the other cheek.

Assassins argument is based on the assumption that "retard" means someone with a intellectual disability. I do not believe that. I am very close with some people who have intellectual impairments and I would never ever refer to them as "retard", because it's not what they are, and in my eyes, the word has nothing to do with them whatsoever. All "retard" means to me is a silly person who has done something silly. Hence I reserve the right to jokingly call myself or a close friend that in chat without triggering a yellow x.

Assassin disagrees though, and that's okay. I think this debate has run it's course well enough now and I'll leave this thread to those who want to vote.
