the words "retard" "retarded" and other such variants (Utards) when used to insult, evaluate or describe the intelligence of others from this board?

Asking as a man,

Shades, I opened this thread as a result of what took place on this thread: http://mormondiscussions.com/discuss/viewtopic.php?t=6007&start=0

Seconded, it will remove from me the temptation to have fun every time it's used in such a way. To the Telestial I say.

Please! :-)

I think mocking those with special needs is FAR worse than mocking religious ceremonies or unusual underwear.

Could you guys be a little more specific about your reasons why? This isn't a vote. It was intended to open discussion.

You know, like talk about it.

Sentences.

I posted a rant a while ago in the telestial because of the filter used by this site to edit certain words. It's ridiculous. Censor yourselves. If someone uses a word that you think is inappropriate, call them out on it like you did in the other thread. Make them look stupid for using the word. But don't "ban" certain words or phrases. Lame.
