Is stupid still an acceptable term?

I used the term dimmer than I thought in reference to BermBandit who posted that only the thought police objected to the term half -caste in that thread
What I actually said
Been reading through this thread, and a thought occured to me..... Now then, it was only the one, so leave it right there! ........ Being an old farty and all, I am prone to the odd moment of innocent-PC-lessness, in much the same way that I still think in terms of feet and inches. For that reason, I've had more than my fair share of the sound of sharp sucking in of air through teeth. However, and at long last this is my thought...... I can't ever remember any person to whom those non PC words apply challenging their use, its almost invariably a plain clothes member of the thought Police. Isn't that strange?
My reading of that, is that its not so much the words that cause offence, more the meaning behind their use.
To which you replied
you are dimmer than I realised you really must try harder.
Perhaps when no else challenges it they dont see the point as they realise everyone there is a bunch of ignorant f@ckwits, ever considered that as the reason? why not ask your wide array of diverse mates what they think of the terms 1:1 and report back.
For my money a somewhat vitriolic rant from which the rest of the thread then developed. In short apparently I'm not allowed to have that thought, and you again apparently as a self appointed member of the "Thought Police," along with Ernie have immediately resorted to online bullying to overwhelm my absolute right to both have and to express my opinion regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Rather proving my use of the term.
At no point have I said the term half-caste is either right or wrong, merely stating that words themselves are innocent, and that there are much more serious issues, which become overwhelmed by the nit picking about relatively insignificant issues. If I were trying to sideline you, I'd be very happy to push you off to that argument over semantics. Simple enough?Thats the last post I'm going to make on the subject as I am truly fed up with the ignorant repetition and recycling of a non argument.

again apparently as a self appointed member of the "Thought Police,"
which is probably about as insulting as being called dim. You repeat it ad nauseum as if I can know whatyour thoughts are. Once you speak I think itis ok to challenge you and the words you use. again people other than the thought police[whatever this means] have challenged the use of the words.
online bullying
Please report me for this if you think this is the case
is it not accurate and again at least as offensive as being called dim , perhaps even more so.
At no point have I ever asked you to stop posting, said you cannot think or post on here. Clearly you can speak for yourself and defend your position.We all have free speech.
The whole thread/s are pretty unedifying for all of us and frankly makes us all look like childish pr1cks.T
You clealry have the right to post I clearly have the right to respond.It is called a debate. This however has become childish on both sides shall we both just take a deep breath and get a life? Have we not got more important things to do ?Posted 2 years ago # -
The whole thread is pretty unedifying for all of us andfrnakly makes us all look like pr1cks.
the truth will out :o)
I'm a bit puzzled by the 'online bullying' thing in this context. I've experienced quite heavy condemnation and many personal insults on this forum, but I've always found it highly amusing and never felt in the least threatened or disadvantaged, perhaps as I don't set great store in the personal opinions of me held by a lot of remote strangers, particularly as the ones I've subsequently met are pleasant or self effacing. Let's not encourage a victim culture here!

Is every thread now essentially about Berm Bandit's paranoia that his opinions are somehow "forbidden" rather than just "daft"?
