Boy Is This Offensive! (Revised: See Post #32)

Originally posted by skywalker: Yes it is Yorick. I've stated in this thread I am guilty of it. I am not accusing anyone of anything. I meant this to be about whether you (meaning anyone) thought that being offended has become more common lately. That we are all becoming too thin skinned. I'm not bashing anyone. Is my "posting style" so poor that what I post is indecipherable. I'm just trying to get some discussion going on a plausible subject. That's all. Mark

No. It could be that I have trouble understanding your accent. No worries Mark.

Nothing wrong with that. "Political correctness" and over-sensitivity suck!

The thing that ruins the discussion you apparently wanted is this statement near the end of your post....

Originally posted by skywalker: grandstanding at being offended to shore up a person's side of an argument is helpful to no one, if it is not fully truthful.

Up until this point, you had a good post that may have resulted in decent discussion, but this statement, after mentioning 6 threads(without links), really changes the whole idea of your post about being offended doesn't it?

Is someone really offended, or are they just covering up for a lack of information/intelligence/initiative/etc...

Nothing wrong with wanting to discuss this idea either, but it's a completely different subject than the one you started with, isn't it?

Maybe you just worded that last part poorly, but it certainly seems like a very lightly veiled "dig" at those in the threads you mentioned(without links) who were, in your opinion, offended by the responses they received, even if they weren't offended by the subject.....

I'm sorry that you do not believe my explanation of that line Ronn, but I'm not going explain what I meant anymore. It is fruitless to try.
