Edit (after I thought about it some more): I think ignorant would be best to use here, because stupid is also a slur that offends people for an inherent property, no real difference to retarded. I will edit my initial comment accordingly. Thank you for the heads up.
I just noticed your username and it made me feel so extremely disgusted that I am going to block you, just to never have to read it again, nothing personal though. Also, with such a username you are not in a particularly good position to criticize others for their choice of words imo.
You: Insult a group of people that had no power over their condition
Them: Insults no one, has a ridiculous username
Your reaction: You're disgusting! I'll block you!
Calling a username disgusting is not the same as calling a person disgusting. I even wrote "nothing personal".
That's not what they mean, they mean that the person had a valid point and just had a clearly silly and exaggerated name but you decide to engage with that rather than their response to your question.
I see, good point. You convinced me and I will edit my comments accordingly.
Yeah so I guess there's no point trying here...
Please elaborate what that sentence is supposed to imply?
That you twice reacted like a child when you got called out so it's not worth losing any more time on you.
I reacted by listening to the opinions of others, thinking about it and changing my choice of words, to not offend anyone and also apologized. That is quite the opposite of childish. Seems like you´re just trolling at this point, so in fact you are the one who is childish here.
Even not being a native speaker you should know the difference here.
I fucking love the internet
