The bottom line is that if someone desperately wants to be offended, they will find a way. Conversely, if someone doesn't want to be offended, it's almost impossible to offend them. This seems to be a mysterious secret to a lot of people. Many years ago, I realized that being "offended" was completely up to me. I made the conscious decision not be be offended by anything anybody said to or about me, unless it served some particular tactical purpose. It was amazingly liberating. Choosing to be offended is exactly that -- a choice. If one chooses to be offended, then one is offended. And there is nothing anybody else can do about it. Since it's a choice, and since the choice is based on individual desires and motivations, there's no real value in debating whether or not something is somehow "inherently" offensive by some nonexistent objective standard. Such a standard does not actually exist. Those who try to impose such as standard are simply trying to impose their particular desires. billo On Sun, 2018-11-18 at 10:32 -0700, Joe Zeff wrote: > On 11/18/2018 10:14 AM, Frau Silvia Sánchez wrote: > > I don't know why do you think that comment was "police-like" or > > why do > > you think that been disrespectful to Gnome designers is correct. > > I can't speak for anybody else on the list, but to me, your comment > came > across as very PC.
