Many words are emotional or conflictual. Saying "stupid" is emotional and also has no technical content. Stupid is used here all the time. Happily, it's generally used as a reference to self and not about others. However it is still occasionally and unfortunately used when referencing proposed code or other person's behaviors. Thankfully, these types of words are being used less and less in discussions here. I agree with David and Eric that it's generally better to avoid these word choices.
