    I am one of the dozens of people in the world who wasn’t educated in America, so you know what they say about assuming.

    Your first paragraph repeats my point so I’m glad we agree, and your second paragraph also mostly agrees with me. What I would say you haven’t understood is that you said you call people fairies, and indeed “r/tards”, in an offensive manner and demand we’re not offended. You can’t police other people’s reactions. What’s the difference from saying “ah yes, but when I rob a bank it shouldn’t be illegal because I’m special!”

    I see your point - again - about how it’s the usage - yes, but I’ll say, also again, that my issue is with your usage.

    It’s ironic you would complain about my education and accuse me of missing the point when it’s your comprehension that’s at issue here.

    Finally, I’d like you to explain how “r/tard” can be used in a non-offensice context.

      “This new extinguisher excells at removeding a fire.”

      “The silencer removed the sound of the firearm.”

      Its pretty damn easy to use words inoffensively if you know the definition of them. removed isn’t just a description of the mentally handicapped; it means to be held back, slowed down, or restrained.
