^ A word of advice: You may want to edit your post up there before anyone sees it, as you may get in trouble for flaming. I agree that LD calling you retarded was quite unnecessary, and the remark may even count as flaming itself, but... well, it would certainly make you look better to bear it patiently, and the fact that he's a moderator could make any trouble you might get in more serious. So as I say, I don't want to offend you, but it would probably be a lot better if you edited your post.
EDIT: And yes, I agree that TEM's comments can be pretty inflammatory at times too, but all the same....
