Just so you know (I'm not going to reply on the thread). That alone didn't annoy me, it was just the 20th (exaggeration noted) time I'd seen you post something along those lines. It seems like, to me, that you excavate the most irrelevant part of a person's post (sometimes) if there is even the slightest hint of something vaguely offensive. Even when you must know that the person posting isn't out to offend. You've said yourself that you don't want to stop people posting offensive things (because it's an impossible task), but it really seems to me that that's exactly what you're trying to do.

This long post isn't meant to be argumentative at all and is in no way intended to be antagonistic or negative. I just disagree with some things that you do (or I feel you do more than necessary).
