I don't think the point is to discuss JonTron's post but rather to use it as a springboard to ask the question about the use of "retarded" on Hubski. After all it's a word where reactions range from "Who gives a shit" to "I think it's an outdated term" to "old habits die hard" to "People who use it are assholes".

Even if you already have an opinion on the term, it's still helpful to gauge the community, let you step on a toe (Or, hey, now one can link this thread to cover their ass down the road).
