Statements like this make me laugh as the person making it is saying "I have given you all my power and as such I cannot take any responsibility." It's a bit like someone being offended. In the first instance we need to know if offence was intended or simply construed as such. Secondly, the recipient can only be offended if there is either an element of truth or they choose to take offence. I have, from time to time put up posts which I might consider to be humorous, or at least contentious and to put forward an issue that is (in my opinion) worthy of discussion. I have never made, or will I ever make, derogatory comments about another individual. However, I will defend myself if I deem it necessary in whatever form I feel fit. On a number of occasions I have been told to 'get a life'. I acknowledge my life is not identical to yours and it will certainly be measured in a different fashion, but please allow me to have my point of view which is at least as valid as yours.
