You can have a debate about when offence is justified. I was making the point that in some cases it definitely is, and we shouldn't view offence as obfuscation/manipulation or follow the principle 'Don't Get Offended'.

I was objecting to your assertion that being offended was in general a good reaction to keep by providing instances where it was not.
