First of all, banning the use of a single word as a euphemism is hardly, in my opinion, a good reason to get upset. It's obvious that you disagree strongly, but if you want to actually change something, I think you both know that it's more efficient to be civil. LDC, please do not use "retarded" in that way, as it is not respectful to people with disabilities. Thanks.

If you really want it unbanned, how about you start a petition? That way we an see how many people want to use it as a euphemism. 1. Yes, but the last time it was OK to use "retarded" as a medical term was like 40 years ago. It doesn't really mean anything now/

2. We already KNOW the majority say it's OK to use "buck". What's the point of making another poll? You're completely avoiding the argument. #classiclmbwadmins The dictionary still classifies "retarded" as an offensive term, so let's just avoid it, please.

You may know that, but I don't, probably because I'm not super active. If you want me (not speaking for other admins) to support unbanning it, all you need is to show me evidence that most of the community wants it. Which argument do you think I'm avoiding, and why do you feel it's necessary to claim that LMBW admins usually avoid arguments? Lol, it sure too me a lot of arguing to get things like admin rights to be a community decision, so I'd appreciate you not generalizing like that. I'll gladly answer any argument that you want me to (although I may agree with some of your arguments, so don't expect me to try and refute them all :P).
