Quite agree treewind. It's as if the 'targets' are not capable of dealing with it for themselves, very disempowering. Anyway, often the 'targets' aren't in the least offended. Eg A Norfolk library refused to put up a flier for a First School's Nativity play on the grounds it might 'offend other religions'. But Jews and Muslims in the locality protested and said they supported the school and the play. Vociferous and defensive complaints on others' 'behalf' may actually incite anger. ("How come those Muslims don't agree with our play?") It's mischievous and arrogant. I wish folk would relax about these things. Then it would all pass off without any trouble at all. They ought to calm down and shut up!
