Was that 'retard' was used actually the problem, or was it really just because I used it..
Uh oh
I got the impression it was the word that offended him not who used it. Enough people made some valid comments about the context of how it was used in the show but he stuck to his guns and was offended by the word. And the moderator backed him up which was very dictorial by her IMO, she did not allow a free discussion and her interference ramped up the rhetoric. The hypocricy of it all is how many times and shows since then I have heard the word 'retard' used.
As for the Bond comment me and BoTD had a very heated debate about how in his opinion only a Brit can play Bond. I thought Alexis Dennisof would have made a good Bond.
