How about it's just in poor taste to use it and its use probably says more about the user than the target?

And, if you use it, just be prepared for someone to take exception to you using it and you might just trigger yourself an ass beating or some other adverse consequence. Kind of like playing with fire crackers or bullet ants. Maybe, just maybe, you can find a better way to insult someone that's a little more clever and incisive and makes you look like less of an ignorant asshole.

I make an exception for using it against these snowflakes. If they're not supposed to be tarded in the literal sense, it makes more than perfect sense to call them it. They're doing it to themselves, and when one can choose not to wear the robes of a bigotted moron, it's more then fair to use harsh words against them.

... and if you say we should be kind to these ilk of humanity... I ask you; where does the line for self defense begin? When someone would gladly stab you in the back, it is distinctly not time to extend them the honor of actual humanity.

i can't think of a single description that would fit these people, other than the definition of retarded. It's literally a perfect fit.
