I don't mean to set up a strawman, but you seem to be suggesting that it's A-okay if respectable members use the word "retard," but we should crucify all newbies who utter the word. Older members who use it get the same if they use it out of context.

The thing is, we don't need oblivious users coming in like they own the place telling us how they named their black cat "Niggkitty." That offended me, and my ethnicity is not African American. Slurs are slurs, and that's all there is to it. "Retard" has become an offensive slur, and therefore should be subject under the same rules as the slurs like "gay," "faggot," and "nigger."
