[quote name='Hutton' post='21552' date='Jun 21 2007, 07:47 PM']What I found however is that many people didn't grasp why something would be offensive to an individual.[/quote]
By, "didn't grasp" do you mean too unintelligent? Because that's how it comes across.
My reading of those incidents was that you have a very thin skin and managed to find offense where absolutely none was intended. You weren't burnt, you deliberately stuck your hand in a furnace and then complained about the warmth.
I wouldn't have mentioned it if you hadn't resurrected the subject.
