I'm glad to hear they listened and changed. I bet it isn't just around you, I bet they say that stuff less other times, too.

I unfortunately don't think that we'll see a lowering in the use of "tard" unfortunately.... but more because "retard" is just becoming a word that has lost it's original use.

That's an interesting point. It's odd, but "tard" bothers me a hundred times more than "retard". (I blinked and for a second had an 'oh yeah!' moment when you reminded me that one stood for the other.)

Just remember, can't get sad from stuff that happens in WoW from trade/general! It's what the trolls want, they feed on our pain!

Ha ha true! And usually I do avoid it. My periods of PvPing are rare, and I avoid trade/general like the plague!
