I would never in my wildest thoughts use the word ***k***ds. It has nothing to do with my being "human" (thanks for the condescension).
I was simply quoting what LostBoy said, as I'm sure Scott was. In an earlier draft, I asterisked out the second part of the word, but it seemed not to make much sense that way. By piquant, by the way, I was trying ironically to suggest offensive.
As far as I"m concerned, and I assume the same is true of Scott, any words demeaning classes of people whether ethnic, racial, age=related, or disability-related are totally unacceptable. I absolutely never use them--except possibly when quoting someone, and even then I'm hesitant. In this case, I was clearly using it to reflect back on Lost Boy, not in themselves.
Emsam.
