Well, yes and no. Something that happens repeatedly (either an individual ignoring the request or multiple people piling on) is better addressed in-list rather than privately. But I agree in principle with the idea of taking personal stuff off-list.
and for it to be really considered offensive, should be directed and have intent, other wise it is just a personal attribute of _one_ person and while the world should be considerate, everyone cannot *always* be accomodated.
Well, again, that's how you see the world. Others have different experiences that lead them to a different place. This is a subjective opinion of how something should be handled.
