Half Smoke, please retard your hostilities. My use of the word retarded was in no way a slur and the use was most appropriate as defined in the dictionary, as acting below one's age. The slang definition is stupid or foolish.
Had I said Alan was retarded, that could be seen as inappropriate. But I didn't say that. I said the game Alan is playing, where he says something, but pretends it has a different meaning, is retarded. It is stupid, foolish and beneath his age.
