But I'm guessing it's "retarded"? You seem to be sensitive to intelligence ranking, judging by your comment "not as clever as you think".

I find a lot tech people sensitive to that in general, given that what they are exchanging in the market is their presumed intelligence.

But again, you can keep me honest, instead of leaving me guessing about a banned word since 1998.

I honestly don't, forgive my ignorance but English is not my first language and I'm from different culture I suppose.

I was trying to explain a point that "sadness" as a by product arraignment not the domain. And I personally found the article heavy on generalization. When I read statements like "All knowledge work is pointless" and "Everyone in tech is sad".. I just think it's lousy thinking.

But I don't know what word you referring too that was not common since 1998 specifically and why..I find you comment to be really strange, sorry.

But anyway, I'm getting used to being flagged and downvoted on this site.
