To be completely honest, considering the leftward tilt that ‘the right’ has taken, even here, none of us should be shocked to see the sites closet liberals adopt the language and offense strategies of open liberals.
As I said before I worked in an institution in my younger days. (probably should have checked in knowing how the world eventually turned out). “Retard”, “Retarded” and “Retardation” were DEM/government manyal/teaching curriculum approved/used terminology up to and until liberals used the word to dump thousands of the retarded onto the streets after Willowbrook made Geraldo famous.
Gunner, you are dead on correct. People use all sorts of words to ‘offend’. Words are words. They don’t care, they are simply words. Personally I get offended about the number of liberals bastardizing the word ‘conservative’ to mean ‘Republican RINO/Liberal” But it too is just a word.
Pretty sure Orwell had some good advise, Bradburry as well, about people and words.
