Just FYI, I'm in a very similar boat as you. 9 times out of 10 I bite my tongue and ignore it, but it's one word that just burns my ass and I lose a little respect for those that use it. Note that it doesn't bother me in the least if someone were to say, for example to a troll "You're being retarded" ....but "You're being a retard" makes my bile rise. Weird huh?
In addition, if one is seeking to insult another's intelligence, one should seek to avoid intellectual laziness in said pursuit.
By the way, I'm not piling on here, I know it wasn't meant to offend (anyone other than the troll it was used on) just thought CTPats might like to know he's certainly not alone.
