As I've said before; I've yet to see where exactly I have done so.

Style of communication != language.

You can use the same language and have vastly different styles of communication.

Imagine a society where everyone has the same style of communication.
Where your free speech ends the moment you diverge from this style.
Well, historically we know these societies have not worked, because
there's people with different styles of communication, and quite often
it's these styles of communication that are needed for certain
messages important to society to be heard.

Sure, it doesn't make you all the same, but it certainly makes it a
narrow spectrum.

How convenient. When I ask you specifically for examples where I have
offended anybody, or been harsh, you feel you have "showed enough
efforts"?

Claims require evidence.

Cheers.
