Some of this comes down to how serious you regard the 'muppet' slur.
This is a cultural thing,somewhat.
For some people, this is a disability slur (it is meant to imply that people are basically brainless, and is usually hurled at people with intellectual disabilities). I know this because I've seen stories about the murders of people where this was the main disability slur used. (The English murder of an intellectually disabled man called Brent Martin comes to mind, but there are many more). Google "Brent Martin muppet" and you will find plenty of stories about it.
So... it depends what you make of the word 'muppet'. For some people, particularly disability rights activists, it's a hate term like the n-word. This is something close to my heart, hence my objections. For me, as someone really concerned about disability, the term 'muppet' is disability vilification, akin to racial vilification. I say this because I have seen FAR TOO MANY crimes, including murder, where this slur has been used. No kidding.

around here 'muppet' was the term we all called ourselves in 'that' great thread.
