16. That's exactly my point
If we have to edit ourselves to such a degree that no one is offended, then why are are we even bothering to seek out opportunities to speak? We might as well shut our mouths and slowly die from what we bottle up.

I've noticed this has been creeping into a lot more postings and discussions, where someone gets indignant about some aspect of a post and raises holy hell, and tries to make the OP retract or restate their ideas. It's too bad that there is some offense taken, and some situations do warrant it because some connotations are nasty and completely vulgar (and I'm sure we know what some of them are!), but the word, "whore?"

And if I see someone at DU taking mAnn Coulter's side in a discussion, you can sure as hell bet that they should be posting elsewhere, and not at DU. She is rabid about her hatred of the left, and most--almost all--of us have just as much abiding hatred or disgust of her.
