    Why is this stuff so hard for you?

    The right isn't the group that made words like that off limits.

    Right wingers still use gay slurs all the time. Does that mean lefties can call Trump a homo and be fine?

    Retard and dotard are actually unrelated words. Retard is from tardus, meaning slow. Dotard is from dote/dotage, plus the suffix ard, same as in drunkard.

    So I don’t think your hypocrisy charge is valid - at least not for this particular reason.

    I'm not talking about accuracy. Plenty of words are in the dictionary and still not allowed because of political correctness.

    Retarded is in the dictionary, doesn't change a thing.

    Right, but dotard isn’t one of those words, yet. You leading that crusade apparently?

    I mean, if it really offends you for whatever reason, I won’t use it. I’m a good person like that.

    It doesn't bother ME a bit. I find it hilarious that anyone would pretend the word didn't catch because of the way it sounds.

    I have honestly never heard it used, besides the North Korean dude. But yeah, he was probably making fun of mentally retarded people...

    It's kinda like the petty little "snowflake" insult you guys paraded around with. Different though because those who used it would ironically, simultaneously, whine.

    I didn't think that was it, really. It's that Kim Jong Un used an English word to insult Trump that most of us had never heard before, that was the charm of it. Not that it rhymed with retard. If he'd called Trump a snollygoster it would have been just as good.

    Well, to be honest. Trumpet is no doubt intended to be and insult. An Insult posted in S2 intended for a very few.

    Then in response I posted this;
    "
    Trumpets? I suppose there are not too many here hey?
    Well fool, I reject your assumption. These kids are acting out like lefties that stole some gear."

    It got edited to this;

    "SlyPokerDog is a fool!"


    A very one sided edit by @SlyPokerDog.

    Saying there are "Trumpets" in the forum isn't really a personal insult.

    Calling someone a fool is a personal insult.

    Why see it as an insult? What does the label imply to you?
