matters not who he was, the point is well made.
At the end of the day, I know what the original poster meant, everyone else on here knew what the orginal poster meant and YOU knew what the orginal poster meant. None of those assumed the post was about a person who had lost the power of speech, selling a car through ebay.
The term "dumb" on here was using the generally recognised term for someone was believed to be stupid.
Now let us look at the dictionary
dumb –adjective
1. lacking intelligence or good judgment; stupid; dull-witted.
2. lacking the power of speech (often offensive when applied)
Now that seems to me to be perfectly clear.
As it appears to have been used properly and in context then it seems you are annoyed by the actual word "dumb" and wished us to know about it, in which case you have achieved your objective.
