@laffett I think the first step to your political rabbit hole would be to understand that "retard" and "retarded" have completely different meanings. None of which have a use online, less, of course, you're having a technical discussion about engineering or medicine.
Retarded slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development
Retard to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment
It's easy for you and me to see no problem with it because we were never personally affected by it. The whole movement behind removing the word from our day-to-day vocabulary is to give one less word for children to throw around and hurt people with. Kids are extremely mean, just in case you forgot.
To us, it's just a simple word, but when that simple word can ruin the day of someone who already struggles to be happy with life, why does it have to be so political just to NOT use it?
The moral of the story is, no one is forcing you to do anything. You can either follow server rules, I.E no disrespect or harassment, or you can play elsewhere. I think your past few replies are evidence that this isn't a matter of expressing your feelings, rather than using it as an opportunity to insult and offend people. Either way, this should end here. We've expressed our stance on the matter so you're free to align yourself with the standards of our community or move along.
