I am one of those who is particularly opposed to the misuse of the word "retarded" as a schoolboy-age insult. That it was used here, to try to complain about something which the thread starter was obviously himself incapable of comprehending, is several steps past ironic.
As for the fact that the T.S. quoted someone who can't tell the difference between the use of a conceptual tool to try to model reality, and reality itself, I would think that that is self evident. To anyone other than the Thread Starter, that is.
While I agree with your views on the use of 'retarded', the FUA onlyp protects members of this site, it's not against the rules to call non members names.
