Just because you are not personally offended by the phrase does not mean other people are not. I found the phrase to be only mildly offensive, but people have complained, so I responded to your post. Why should anyone else complain? Because they do not know ahead of time that a post that they are reading will contain something offensive, so they have no idea to NOT read your post. Who cares if the person you were directing the comment at did not yet respond? That is irrelevent. But, you did not respond to the point of my message. You merely attacked my approach, so I do not know if you got my point: Please refrain from offending comments about other people. Attacking opinions is fine, but you have NO idea whether a minor (or major) comment about another person may either offend them or others. So, don't do it. Thanks, KarinsDad :)
