Imposing a ban on such discussions hinders SilasBerta, which is why he's offended.

If this is the case, than he is not offended by Alicorn's offense. He is offended by a ban on such discussions. Which makes sense and has nothing to do with the layers I was talking about.

Like I said, I think there is misunderstanding of my original comment. To reword this:

Well, he can, but I wouldn't put "being offended by [topic]" and "being offended by being offended by [topic]" in the same categories.

As this:

I don't put "being offended by [topic]" and "being offended by being offended by [topic]" in the same categories, so hopefully that is not what he is doing. If he is offended by the proposed solution to the offense of [topic], that makes a little more sense.

Might help.
