Did you honestly think that I meant that it was perfectly "OK" to be offended by names? If you honestly thought that's what I meant, and you were asking for clarification, then I will comply.
But to me, it surely seems like you're answering all my questions with questions that are meant to be the "high road" way of thinking.

I will try this one more time....and I will note...that as a rule in discussion's like this I do not try to come off as sarcastic.....you said and I quote

I'm just saying, well... I guess I'm rather, hoping, that people nowadays wouldn't actually be offended by a namecaller.

I was trying to understand why a person "nowadays" should be any less offended by a name caller then in the past. Name calling, IMO, was/is/always will be something thats not nice....how can times make it any less hurtful to the person on the receiving end? Now Im not talking about joking around name calling...yes I do my fair share of that....I am talking serious name calling.
I stated earlier in this thread that yes I've been called names....thats not a secret from anyone....but it hasnt happend in a long time (at least to my face lol), but I can 100% guarantee you that I would be of the same opinion if I'd never had the word "fugly" or any other word directed towards me.
Anyone that knows me knows that it takes a LOT for me to make a detrimental comment about ANYONE because I dont really see the point in it. Yes, to a degree I see myself as "above" that kind of behaviour, I dont deny that....but I have NEVER tried to make myself seem better than anyone cause lord knows I have my faults just like anyone else, if it comes off that way Im sorry...If we were talking in person you'd know that wasnt my intention at all
