I would think JeremyC that a Scot might be entitled to take offence at your sweeping generalisation about food in Scotland.
It would seem apposite, that in the same thread you take others to task for similar actions.

Congratulations on your total failure to understand my post. Do you work at McDonald's (in the position of "Customer Care Manager," amirite) by chance?

As I said, taking personal offense to statements made on the internet is fucking retarded. No one is "entitled" to take offense at ANYTHING. So yes, a Scot might take offense at my comments about food in Scotland (s/he is in a free country, after all), but if s/he did, s/he would be acting in a manner that is, as I stated, fucking retarded. Likewise, demanding an apology or retraction as if what the other person says or thinks is somehow important enough to affect your daily life is taking "retarded" into bold new territory.

Read, comprehend, post. You missed either the first or second of the three steps.
