How not to criticize, aka "Web Loafer" is a retard.

If you're going to write someone because you think they are being mean or insulting, perhaps it's best to try NOT to be mean or insulting when you tell them this.

Here's a comment left on my blog:
I am on a personal crusade to call out those that use the word retarded in everyday hostile speech. You use the word to put someone down. You probably aren’t half the man my twin brother is.
My twin brother is retarded, 60 years old and can you think of some other word to show your lack of speakablity. Because you cannot speak without cursing, slandering or hating, I am calling you out.
Enough with the retarded bit,
Buy yourself a dictionary,
(I'm sure you are not ready for the Collegiate Dictionary, but you have to start somewhere)
Try the High School Version.
Don’t eat the covers off of the dictionary, this time use it to learn words that mean something, retarded means something to me, not to you; grow up.

Here's my reply:

You think that insulting people without using specific words is somehow better?

Fuck you, you hypocritical retard.

Love, Rich
I mean, jeez.

Love to all. Even you, "Web Loafer."

That was such a long comment, and all that time and energy just because someone is offended by the word "retard"...geez people are so sensitive. Except for when actual physically disabled people are around (then it's good to not use the word), I used the word "retarded" freely. No one ever complains, because everyone knows that it doesn't really mean anything harmful.

I can kinda see that gent's point. Having lived with a truly retarded twin brother for 60 years must have done some psychological and emotional damage to him and he gets aggravated every time he reads that word.

The way he expresses is frustration (of having to live with his ill brother) is wrong though.

Shqipo - agreed... but dude, once the guy starts talking like that, sorta kicks his heels out from underneath him.

The Loafer posted a comment on my site, too: It was poorly written, rambling, insulting, and…well…retarded.

Advising you not to eat the cover off the dictionary? That's basically calling you retarded without specifically saying so, isn't it? :P
