I am open to discussion on virtually any comment and I can take most things in stride, but when someone has the mindset that they can judge or determine what kind of character I have based on what they feel I should or should not say in the context of open conversation, I have a tendency to either run that person into the ground or shut up as narrow minded people often don't have the intellectual fortitude to have an open discussion.
Yeah I'm perfectly fine with someone telling me they're offended by my comment. I'm also pretty sure they're not demanding for me not to say it again but they would like me to not say it, and if I'm kind enough to do that, it's what I should do. That's how it is for me the other way round, if a comment offends me, I'll let them know. I'm not saying I have a right above them for them to not say it again, but I'm letting them know they're comment offended me AAnnDd it's up to them to decide what they want to do about it.
But I also think if you offend someone and they let you know, sure they don't have any right over you but you really should be nice enough to feel bad for hurting another persons feelings.
It's a fishy discussion this subect.
