I disagree that there are people in this community that are "looking to be offended". And I strongly hope you're not placing initiators of this discussion into that category. This would diminish their cause massively and unfairly.
you have quoted out-of-context and considerably altered the conveyed meaning. <quote> A right to not be offended would be in direct contradiction to a right to speak freely. Both cannot co-exist. On these opensuse mailing lists in particular, in recent decades in general elsewhere, I see a pattern which seems to me that people think a right to not be offended exists. In the USA at least, freedom to speak is an explicit constitutional right, openSUSE Guiding principles and tort law notwithstanding. People looking to be offended, and complain about it when it happens, need to grow some thicker skin. </quote> he definitely does not say that people in "this community" are "looking to be offended", but that "people who are looking to be offended" ... very easy for one to become "offended" without just cause. one will never satisfy everyone. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
