It’s understood that in the online world, everyone is considered to be male unless otherwise stated.

Mostly I'm not a fan of using "they" when referring to a singular being. I'm really trying to cut down.

Since when are you worried about offending the chixX0rs?

I honestly don't consider anything I say to be offensive. I'm not out to offend people, usually, most of what I say that's considered offensive is said in jest. However, confusing someones gender could be considered offensive.

I have plenty of brains. It's just that common sense things allude me.

Of course not. Most of what you write is offensively stupid. You can't do that on purpose.

<snip>

"you can eat shit", "pull the stick out of your ass", "Do I need to strike up the violin team", "moron", "you haven't been through what I have", "you have never felt what I have felt", "I just make sexist jokes because I find them more amusing than many other types of jokes".

So, you're not out to offend people, yet you say things like the above examples, and you say them on a regular basis. Said in jest...point to which one of those examples was intended to be a joke. You don't consider anything you say to be offensive...maybe you should rethink that once more, before you go declaring yourself a paragon of objectivity.

Okay, here I'll separate these for you:

Offensive from my point of view

-"you can eat shit"
-"pull the stick out of your ass"
-"moron"

Not Offensive:

-"Do I need to strike up the violin team"
-"I just make sexist jokes because I find them more amusing than many other types of jokes".

The other two I can't figure out why you listed them. I don't even see how you could take them as a joke or insult. They were merely explaining my point of view in a political discussion.

But yes, the post where I did say things that were supposed to be offensive, were because in the post before you exploded on me over nothing. I'm not going to be nice if you don't respect me, but I think that's standard for most people. If you respect me I won't be a jerk to you, but it has to go both ways, I'm not going to act kind while you verbally abuse me.

So...in your opinion....do you consider anything you say to be offensive?

BTW, I think she put the last remark in there because SEXIST JOKES ARE OFFENSIVE TO WOMEN.

I don't consider most of what I say to be offensive. I don't take things as offensively as most. I take most of what's said by anyone as a joke, unless it has some sort of consequence attached. In real life and online the people I get along best with are the people I trade insults with most frequently. But since not everyone is like that I'll respect our differences. I promise not to make any more sexist jokes, seeing how they do seem to be offending people, which is not my goal. Besides that I'll try not to say things that'll bother people unless I'm antagonized; however, like I've said, my view of what's offensive is different from yours, so bear with me.

Bizb's story about his specialness is classic.

I know I'm special because a doctor told me so!

The important thing to remember here is that if I think it's not offensive then it MUST not be offensive to anybody else either!

WHY CAN'T YOU DOLTS SEE THAT?
