A lot of people don't notice the key word "taking" and concentrate on "offence". You can't make someone take offence at anything, it is a decision they make. If I am offended by something you write, then I am choosing to take offence. You can try to offend me, you can make comments about my mother or the like, but I can just as easily choose to not be offended. The fact is that everyone is unique (just like everybody else), and being tolerant of others peoples opinions, actions etc is the most sensible choice. There are things I don't like, ideas that I don't want people to try to impose on me, but if I tell them that they can't think or act like that, that they have to change their thinking to my point of view, I am just as bad or worse than them. <br /><br />Good work standing up for your beliefs. I really enjoy reading your blog and your honesty in what you write.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979441756849107712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-14829009336528945922013-03-02T21:01:04.966-05:002013-03-02T21:01:04.966-05:00Yea, I updated the post to reflect that Brucon is ...Yea, I updated the post to reflect that Brucon is off my boycott list.Robert Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879238874208877740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-65134313748572359402013-02-28T17:04:28.953-05:002013-02-28T17:04:28.953-05:00Brucon just changed their anti-harassment policy a...Brucon just changed their anti-harassment policy away from the Ada Initiative's.

I find it intolerable that anyone who is an American, or who believes in freedom of speech, would think to impose hate speech codes, a.k.a. political correctness.
