if you want insults banned then ban all of them or ban none

Can you be more specific why you think this? While originally it was a slur meaning a mentally disabled person, nowadays it just seems to be another way to insult a person's intelligence, along with words like "stupid", "idiot", "moron", etc.
I've only seen the slur meaning come up in the form of "you just called an actual mentally disabled person a retard." "Oops sorry."
