I wrote on [[Talk: User:Retard]] and
[[Wikipedia:Problem users]] that the
name User:Retard is offensive. No one has done anything about
it. There is
a policy about allowing offensive User names.
Can we do something about
this?
You already did -- you left a message on the user's talk page. There's no
need to call out the police forces whenever there's some sign of potential
conflict, because doing so makes it more likely that the potential becomes
a reality. Let's wait and see how our retarded friend reacts before
jumping to any conclusion. He may have chosen the name in an act of self-
deprecating irony.

I'll go out on a limb and just assume that the user himself/herself is not
actually retarded, either mentally or physically?
