Are you considered offensive or defensive? Can you BE offensive? Are you defensive about your offensiveness? Do you defend your right to be offensive...as long as it doesn't step on too many toes...?

I see people nit-picking at eachother...getting offended...offending others...

Where do you stand in this circumstance?

DISCLAIMER: Intentionally offending someone while in this thread is offensive.

Defending your offensiveness is permitted...but NO name-calling or belittling. Ya'll fight nice now, ya' hear?

always on the offensive.......because wehn you start to give people an inch they will take you a mile.....

I try to maintain a balance, but it's just not possible sometimes. So, if nothing else, it'll depend on the situation at hand.

I'm offensive but in a cute, sexy way...hardly ever defensive...because...my opinion...is the only one that matters..WHOOOOO!!!!!

depends on the situation.

both and i'm marshmellowy with the sh!t weasels

I think a large portion of it comes from the fact that so many people have "narrow-mindeditis", and cannot entertain the possibility that other viewpoints exist other than their own. The truth hurts.

right on

One thing that I've seen constantly ever since I started going to websites where people communicate -- if someone has decided that they are going to be offended, they can always find something to be offended by.

It's your choice.

Yes. No. I mean, I don't know.

or you can take into the fact that the vast majority of people are Users who would take you for all they could if given the chance.

Agreed...

Lex

you are so right there

Argumentation is another thing. You can say with absolute certainty that the grass is green, and there's always going to be somebody else who will insist that it's purple.

Agreed, as well...& yet they still continue to pick at the scab...why?

That will probably be Izzie. She has issues with colors.

I'm always right, so it does not matter

Some people carry offensive as their way,lol.And some run away from anything even a bit off color to them.
I believe no-one should show a stranger here or in life an offensive way, UNLESS their aware that it MIGHT come right back to them in the same manner.
I TRY not to offend anyone,,BUT,,then again.
IF, someone comes on here attacking another for no-reasons,,,YES,,I can and HAVE many times stood-up for them and got REAL offensive to their attacker,,,wink,lol
But THATS been ME on here since I first came here.
To me its simple really..ITS ALL ABOUT RESPECT.
If YOU carry that, you WON'T be seen as offensive unless YOU CHOSE to be that way,wink..
I don't have to know someone to respect them as a human being.
But an AZZHOLE,,,will always SHOW them selves to another and then Hopefully the MODS will act to remove them..

But I also wonder about the "finger-pointers" & the "tattle-tales"...when were they voted The Offensive Police?

LOL,,I have had MANY people here tell me my TYPING is OFFENSIVE to THEM,,,I simply tell them .
THEY don't have to read me,wink,lol
