I never grew up with an understanding that it's offensive when I use the word retard in a deragatory manner, the same way I've never considered it offensive to use "blind", "deaf", or "dumb" in deragatory manners. Regardless, if you're going to make it a violation to use the word retard do you mind blocking out the word in the comments to begin with instead of having me write a comment from my mind and only finding out later that I violated the rules? It's already been done on the forums for the titles and I'd like to see that for the comments.

I think it would be a good thing for that word to be censored.

There are valid uses of the word though. It won't be censored for that reason.

This. Though IIRC most of those uses are music-related.
