I am perfect find on people being offended. What I am not fine with is that the notion of being offended translates into anything other than the person simply being offended. EG, offending somebody -- because it is so subjective -- should simply be that, they are offended. END OF STORY. But right now being offended is as if you walked up to somebody and spit in their face, or worse punched them. And the actions being taken by those who "offend" are on par with actions you would take had somebody physically attacked another person.
