as there is no condition actually named retardation it is not a direct form of discrimination towards any particular handicap it is a general term used to denote diminished mental capacity which clearly racists in general suffer from

there is a difference between being politically incorrect and shouting "HUR DER NI**ERS"

Wikipedia states:
Intellectual disability (ID), also called intellectual development disorder (IDD) or general learning disability, and formerly known as
mental retardation (MR), is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning. It is defined by an IQ score below 70 in addition to deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors that affect everyday, general living.

This statement sounds like a plea for handicapped people to stay away from the game chat.
Sidenote: I've worked as moderator in huge online project for several years and moderation rules made by developer were clear: both N-word and R-word were bannable punishments. N-word for longer time, R-word for shorter time. Be careful!
And, of course, context is important.

If I get called a cracker, will that person get banned as well? If, of course, you see it.
