I do and I don't. The word retarded has become more charged than it was when I was younger, and I think people are more sensitive to it now leading to getting muted for a single use. I won't be using that again on flagamuffin's posts (or apparently any words as I'm muted) just because it detracts from the point I'm trying to make. However, the abstract stupidity of the silly comparison did not warrant me explaining that is ludicrous hyperbole. It would be condescending to explain every joke you make, right? And moreover, it's kind of silly to get muted for expressing a valid point of view because someone else didn't like how you phrased it. That article is not well-researched and it uses poor science and scare tactics to drum up something you would see on Fox News. "Next at 10, is Asparagus giving you brain damage?" No. It's not. Millions of people eat it all the time and we aren't walking around with brain damage akin to taking a career's worth of hits in the NFL.
