Retard

[Qwerty Dvorak]

Apologies for the vulgar title. I am aware that the use of the word "retard" as an insult is frowned upon on this board, and would like to report that I have been called a retard in a negative reputation comment given in respect of this post (http://www.revleft.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1437750#post1437750). The comment was left at 11th May 2009 00:12 simply says "retard". Now, the comment was silly, I admit that. But obviously since the word is being used in a highly inappropriate manner I thought it apt to inform you guys. Moderators should be able to ascertain who it is, their name doesn't show up on my user CP.

Is retard frowned upon?

Whew! I thought it was going to be a thread about me. :lol:

Seriously, ECU--you should see some of the rep posts to me.

Roll with the punches.

I didn't start this thread because I was offended, I've had other insulting comments. I just wanted to report the use of the word retard in an insulting fashion. Numerous others have been warned for using that word, including myself.

last negative reply i got mentionned that i should listen to people who are more intelligent than me (tanks you kindle) and another comment fron an unknown coward telling me to fuck off that i didnt belong to revleft and i was an assole.

personally man, ignore those assole, probably some frustrated kiddo playing the internet tough guy.

i recommend you to close the whole thread and ignore those poor childs.

Good point.

[danyboy27]

well, tell it to an admin.

or even better, find out who the culprit is and ask to someone outside the OI to send him a bad rep with the word: shitbrain.

The problem is in OI whe don't know and can't find out who gave us reps--good or bad.

[Holden Caulfield]

you only get a warning point for using the word retard if you are me, so whoever did that to you will get off the hook,

sorry but this is CC convention

sorry but this is CC convention

The OI is the NEW CC. :thumbup:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention (loving the formal tone, in this post). While I disagree with the policy on the word retard I think that cowardly little wankers that abuse people through rep should be dealt with sternly. PMing an admin next time might be your best bet as they're the only ones who can see who has given the negative rep.

Does anyone feel like starting a debate on the use of the term retard or should I close this?

This is true. I think it's important to combine rep insulting with in their face face pm/visitor message insults.

Or just say who you are. :rolleyes:

Dead thread.

Dead thread.

Quite. I will now drive a stake through its heart to prevent it ever rising from the dead to bother us again.
