Obviously there'll need to be a Both option. And Neither. Nice sig btw.
I've had the debate about the word 'retard' several times, both on and off Foot.ie, I'm not having it again. I choose to use it, you can choose not to read my posts.
Can I vote for "I don't know"?

and yet u stil use it:confused:
Well, that would be the case if I wasn't an Admin and got to decide what is and isn't offensive on Foot.ie. Plus of course context is a factor.
Yes, hence my use o the phrase "I choose to use it" right after that bit you were unable to quote correctly. You're not related to gilberto by any chance?
Said i wouldnt post until the results were in but the use of the word retard caught my attention so i decided to do an I.Q test:D
The results are attached for referance
Scored above adverage ;)
This is what Wiki threw up on the ''retard page'':
Profound mental retardation Below 20
Severe mental retardation 20–34
Moderate mental retardation 35–49
Mild mental retardation 50–69
Borderline mental retardation 70–79
Dahamsta you have taken you ignorance to a new level, now its not me your abusing but anyone with a family member who suffers from a mental disorder, im sure there are quite a few posters who are in the same boat as myself and have a family member who has a condition.
My little brother suffers from Autism, maybe i should call him a retard?.
Im guessing from your views your an avid supporter of the ''Special olympics'' maybe you should give a speech next time:rolleyes:
gilberto, I've seen the threats you've sent to people via PM. You're not qualified to lecture anyone about morals, old chum.
If you're not retarded, how come, when you were supposed to meet a foot.ie member to give him tickets for the last Ireland game, you instead went and got so blind drunk before the match that you forgot to meet him up and thereby screwed him over completely?
How come you've taken nothing from this thread on board?
How come - after nine pages - you're still a complete dumbass?
(And, oh the irony of posting "scored above adverage" :rolleyes:)
I think ye should get Tom Cruise in to help solve your problems.
If he stumbled across this thread, as a Scientologist, he would
know that only he could help out.
Chuck Norris would sort it all out double-quick time.
Jules from Pulp Fiction could sort it.
Perhaps Jeremy Kyle could sort it with an episode entitled "Help!! - My Moderator Hates Me and its driving me Craaaaaaazy".
Or Ant and Dec with
I'm a disgruntled poster/smug moderator ... get me out of here!
Quick synopsis of the poll results:
About 1 in 10 reckon its ok to call anybody a dumbass.
Approx 90% of us think its unacceptable.
Of those 90%, one in four agree that Gilberto is an exceptional case.
Still think you're winning the argument Gilberto ?
Cant beleive I've wasted my lunch break reading this crap!
Adam: Just cos you dont like him doesnt give you the right to hurl the personal abuse at him that you have. Its your site? So what? If people decided not to post here you wouldnt have a site! Youre really damaging yourself with this whole retard thing. I know people get all moral over the use of words like this but some of your own members are asking you not to use it yet you continue. Is this because you cant accept that sometimes (like all of us) you are wrong? Overall I love this site and I thank you for runnng it but please follow the rules that you have set the rest of us.
Gilberto: You do come out with some utter S***e but as long as your not abusing (or threatening) someone youre as entitled to your opinion as anyone else. I cant talk about punctuation or grammer as both of mine are terrible. I dont think this makes my points any less valid.
Overall this thread is quite funny in places but the underlying personal abuse is a bit too much.
I've no problems with my treatment of gilberto_eire, don't have any issue with any of my posts in this thread, and will continue to use the word 'retard' occasionally to describe people like gilberto. *shrug*

That is a very sad thing Adam, if you can't take what the majority of people on here think about your use of such a heinous word to describe a fellow human being(no matter how much of a tool he is) on board and maybe question your infalability in this case! I have a lot of respect for you in general on here Adam but have lost a lot of it from the above post
[quote=Lim till i die;859799]Why should he make sure that his opinion tallys with the majority??
That's how Nazi Germany started!!
your some drama queen, if you knew your facts it was quite the opposite in Nazi Germany, the majority had to tally there opinions with the few at the top, dumbass:cool:
Like I said, I'm not going to engage in any further debate on the use of the word. If you want a robust debate on the subject, do it on Damien's blog. Although I'm sure he's as bored with people's eagerness to be offended as I am.

To be honest I dont have a problem with the term retard. What I do have a problem with is when there is one rule for the users and another for the 'owner'.
If we all degenerated to name calling in order to get a point across this site would soon disintigrate.
The bottom line here is I think its wrong to hurl personal abuse at people and not expect some back.
Its like the tale of Murphys Dog:
A posh lady left her prize winning female poodle tied to a lamppost while she did some shopping.
When she returned Murphys dog was pleasuring said bitch.
She screamed for help and a rather scruffy looking man came to her aid.
I can make him stop he said but youll have to turn your back.
So the woman does as shes told.
Next thing Murphys dog starts yelping and runs off down the street.
The woman turns around and asks the man how he got rid of the dog.
The man replies with a twinkle in his eye:
'Murphys dog' he says
'HE CAN GIVE IT BUT HE CANT TAKE IT............'
Thats a horrible story!! Reported for incitement to beastiality!! :)
I would like to take the fund that was being mooted for Kilkenny and give it to dahamsta. I have decided that he rocks. That is all. :)
