Thread Name: BS: The right not to be offended
Subject: RE: BS: The right not to be offended
While it is true that people sometimes take offence when they shouldn't, to extend that into the principle that there are never occasions when it is right to be offended and wrong to give offence is nonsense.

Does anyone think that when Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross made that phone call to Andrew Sachs he had no grounds for being offended, and that other people ad no right to criticising the offenders?

Just for example.
