I'm saying that we're probably at a stalemate since neither of us can verify if "lame" is at heart a slur. And I understand that words are going to be received differently than they're intended, but that's inevitable in the language we have.
Here's where I'm probably an asshole: I find this discussion interesting because we're basically arguing over hindering language by disabling a word...that happens to be about the disabled.
