Reply #40: Unfortunately, the example you used is not really helpful.

If you say "the logic you just wrote is really retarded," I am afraid I don't quite know what you are trying to tell me. Is it just a insult like "You're stupid"? But how am I stupid? Wouldn't it be better to say "the logic you just expressed is faulty" but then of course I would have to prove my point and say just why I found said logic to be faulty. Or I could say your logic makes no sense or "I don't think you've thought this through." But in any case I would be required to back up my statement.

Just saying one's logic is "retarded" doesn't tell me anything...
