Good point. We should be able to call a spade a spade, but unfortunately the Internet and sensitivities seem to preclude that.
There are certainly a large number of people who seem to wake up in the morning with a strong desire to be offended, generally on behalf of someone else. That, i have to say, does annoy me. It is not an internet-only phenomenon either.
On the other hand, we often don't help ourselves on forums like this: Frequently it seems pretty clear that people don't actually read what they write before hitting the OK button, and often in our efforts to be brief we are overly terse, which can lead to misunderstandings.
