In an earlier post the lady was described as "retarded". I think use of such words has no place on Flyertalk. The lady has a brain injury caused by a tumor. Would a person without a limb be retarded?

And if anyone cares to notice the mother was using a medical walking boot. She was sitting because she has an injury.
As well, the comments about her being obese and needing more exercise were subjective, had nothing to do with the topic at hand and were totally unnecessary.
