Bromosexuals and The People Who Love Them

Aye yi yi. If shutting you up was the intent, I wouldn't have responded, clearly.
It is not your call to decide how I meant it. If I'd called them... oh I dunno, Down Syndromed, Aspergered, Palsy-ated... well sure I could see you getting all riled up. If someone uses "socially retarded", does that affect your delicate sensibilities too?

My comment was made to two of my friends. I can see how it could alert the PC police. But you don't know me, so don't presume to know my intentions, my experiences with that word, or my heart. If I dissected everything you or friends of yours have said on the internet, I'm sure I could find plenty that would offend one person or another, without you having called them out.

One man's "retard" is another man's "gypped", "paddy wagon" or "indian giver", etc.

UofMfan- just out of curiosity (i know this sounds sarcastic but it really is an honest question), are moderators instructed to report every post with 'dyke' and 'fag' and 'queer'?
