no on the r-word

By dougt | Published: March 10, 2009

One thing that always rubs me the wrong way when people use the r-word. It is like walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke as a non-smoker. I clearly do not have the right to ask them to quit, but I would rather not be around it. I have, in the past and only to people that I care about, explain how it isn’t a great thing to say.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not some uptight guy that never swears. The sad truth is before I was involved with the special needs community, I would have never thought twice on how I acted with respect to dropping the r-word. Thinking back, I feel ashamed…

check out this guy who can sum this issue up definitely then me.

    probably a sign of where I read this that I was thinking “what r-word” and thought you were talking about “regression” at first.

    @Callek you are my first casualty! :-) I hope to blog more on non-mozilla stuff, but time is usually a problem.
