re: #438 geoffm33

But do you understand why a lot of people *do* have a problem with that word? And can you grasp the concept that people wanting you to use a different word are doing so for reasons other than trying to control you?

It’s because the word got corrupted from the clinical “retarded” to the epithet “retard”

I don’t think it’s reasonable to throw out a word just because there’s another word that corrupts it. And I think that a lot of people agree with me that the word is not a problem when used correctly.
