Well some people take offense for the strangest things, it has nothing to do with hiding behind a monitor, Gotcha, Im manners personified.
Ok, I'm really only trying to explain, it's not that weird to find 'retarded' offensive. The mentally disabled are a group who deserve linguistic sympathy. If you'd said the game design was 'gay' and been called out on it, would you grasp why it was wrong? Or been racially offensive about Begians?
In a totally different category is Darth, who seems to think it's weird that using female terms to diminish men isn't intrinsically sexist. Or that I shouldn't stand up against it. There are some forums I wouldn't bother mentioning it, but from reading these forums for several months I've found almost every user here uses appropriate language. One or two members can get a bit personal but people don't throw around hate speech. So I do think it's worth saying here that sexism isn't ok. And no, Darth, that isn't a political point. It's a human one.
