Well put. I'm not overly impressed by those who claim to be offended all the time and only want to mingle in a small circle of like minded people.
I don't think it's well put because the analogy falls down on the simple fact that most people make choices to avoid the things they don't like. They may go away to experience new things which will include things they like and don't like but they won't go back to somewhere/something they don't like.
I also think the view is rather condescending as if people can't really cope with real life if they can't cope with Soapbox; what utter rubbish.
This is not some brave new world, it's a forum, a cycling forum at that and the only thing that's been done here is to offer people the choice to view or not view something.
If I want an argument/discussion I can go back to Soapbox or join another forum.
As for the offended bit, you just made that up. Most are not offended they're just jaded with same old Soapbox antics of which you are a major contributor, and I don't mean that in a negative way, merely a statement of fact.
It's simple choice, you opt in, I'll opt out; thanks.
