  >people outside of the edgy tech subculture You mean like me and most folks I know? None of us are retarded. Nor do we deliberately insult others. However, we also don't cower in fear that words used without malice are actually hurtful. Those that are differently-abled are to be accepted and respected for who they are. Those that jump down others' throats as the vocabulary police are the retarded ones, IMHO. And yes, some folks have very thin skin, metaphorically speaking. And that's okay. But I don't need the sorts of folks who can't or won't understand context/nuance in my life. In fact, to those particular folks I say, fuck off!
