And for the record I did the exact same thing to Magna over their use of the word "retard", for the exact same reason: if you're not trying to make people feel worse for how they were born, why use a word that can that effect?

Fine. That is you being you, I think. If you like being a bit fruity I am not going to argue with you about your choices. Likewise, if you think I am retarded.. so what.
Walk out into the backyard this evening and the birds are still chirping.
