Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but is he telling us that we should try to be offended?
I'm referring to the second to last paragraph: You can't know if your values are being violated if you're ambiguous about what they are. Second, learn to develop a sixth sense for when your line is being crossed. It may be a gut feeling. A nervous laugh. A habit of rationalizing.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it because some people (especially in the media) seems to set out to be offended, and they're really annoying.
Of course there are many valid reasons to be offended and we (as individuals and societies) should treat everyone with respect and try to offend no-one. But it is possible to be too easily offended, and I'm afraid one might end up in that category by following his advice.
