I must be missing something, what's to be offended at? She was just repeating some of the things in the newspaper, from Roger's post # 178

You are indeed missing something, Gene; you are missing my use of irony in making a point. I am not truly offended.

By your logic, if I posted some of the rather interesting statements made by Mr. Lincoln concerning his views of black people, or one of his many off color jokes, it would not be offensive, since I was only posting something written long ago by someone else.

The source, then, by your words, determines whether something is offensive or not.
