Let's say you have a brother with a mental handicap. You come here to talk about Ranger bow kiting and see people using the word "retard", which is as offensive to you as the word "******" is to some people. Do you:
A) post here more to make the forum a better place?
or:
B) run away and never come back?

I would use common sense, and probably notice that the word "retard" is commonly used but not in the context I always thought it was used in.
P.S. I had an autistic "retarded" stepbrother, and guess what? The use of the word doesn't anger me, doesn't make me want to run away, and doesn't make me want to try to "enlighten" people to not use it. Sometimes you got to use some common sense.
