'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?'

- Stephen Fry.

It's true. People feel like if something somehow offends their sensibilities, then they now have the right to crusade against you until you are no longer able to do whatever it is you were doing any longer.
If you're offended by someone's language learn to be an adult, and stop taking everything you see an anonymous stranger say online as if someone's burning a cross in your front yard.
