You have never in your life been offended. I know very few of you IRL but I can state that as absolutely true. No one has ever been offended.
But most of us have, at one time or another, allowed ourselves to be offended. You choose to be offended. Whether the thing at which you took offense was intended to offend or not. It doesn't matter.
It's odd that none of the gods never figured that out.
@Jeber I understand the point you're making, and it's a good principle for resilience, but everyone has a line.
I will not yield all ground to so-called free-speech absolutists, and own the whole cost of their lies, accusations and conspiracies as a thing I, or other people, just need to get over.
There are times when the offence people provoke needs to be actionable.
