Were the insults necessary or did they add anything useful to your comment?

As for the actual question in your comment, though your quick follow-up to insults suggests you meant it as a rhetorical question and just wanted to assume they were doing the same thing as they were criticizing, "fricken" (or "friggen") was used in many cases by kids who were scared of getting in trouble for using "real" swear words. Which was the whole point of that comment: kids who were afraid to really swear casually used "retard" and many adults who would lose their shit over "fucking" didn't bat an eye at "retard". And even when they did, it was because of the insult to the one called "retard". If anyone brought up mentally disabled people, it was more about furthering the insult rather than actually caring how they felt.
