Well, you know, statements themselves can be offensive & to retreat into "I FEEL offended" language actually seems sort of slippery & dishonest to me. I mean, say someone posted "English professors are idiots" -- would I be allowed to say that this statement is offensive, or would I simply have to say "I feel offended" by the statement? There is a considerable difference.
