Everything you do will offend someone love. Trying to please everyone will always be met with failure. I thought we learned this 100's of years ago.

"Trying to please everyone will always be met with failure."

There is a difference b/w being mindful and mean.

I'm offended that the person thinks adults are too "weak" or "sensitive" to be made fun of and have to be treated like children. Or did the thought that being treated like a temperamental child might be offensive to someone not cross your mind?

"I'm offended that the person thinks adults are too "weak" or "sensitive" to be made fun of and have to be treated like children. Or did the thought that being treated like a temperamental child might be offensive to someone not cross your mind?"

using this logic if I accidentally bump into you, push you around a bit, are you so sensitive that you take offense? Can you take it? or will you take offense and push back?

What is going on here is just as much your response as the other persons. The key here again is, is it being done with intent to harm? If so, it speaks volumes about yourself.
