397. We delete the term "retard" when we are aware of it.
So people need to alert when it happens.

One obvious exception: There was a news story recently in which Rahm Emanuel used the word "retard." This was a legitimate news story, and we did not remove it when it was posted. However if any DUer responded in-kind, we removed it.
