people, i am very upset about the use of the word retard since it is used in a mean way towards people and my daughter is down syndrome. there is a line i draw on the use of the word but lately people are using to degrade people which ends up making me feel seiously degraded sicne this is an issue i deal with everyday. i posted remarks stating as much but it seems to be getting worse! My daughter is not someone i look down on and in fact is very inspirational in my life. when people use that word, they are degrading people in the process. sometimes the use just comes to the line in the sand, but it has been crossed IMO alot on this board and people seeom to take great joy in the use of it cus they know how it makes someone feel.
I think Circlewagons should be banned and everyone notified of the use of the word or it should be put on your list of bad words that are asterisked. I feel strongly about this! I am not a politically correct type and i feel strongly to just inform poeple about it, if they abuse that afterwords then IMO, they should get their butts handed to them.
i leave this issue up to you. If nothing happens, i will take the issue further.
Thanks
Gary Skelton
