A Glimpse into my mind

I find the phrase offensive.

I have been finding a lot of things offensive lately.

I would have found it offensive no matter how it was intended -- by anyone.

It had *nothing* to do with who used it.

I never really even thought about who was using it, and no, it had nothing to do with you as a person.

And I should not have mentioned my feeling about it in your LJ.

If it bothered me that much, I should have said something privately.

But then someone commented on it in a positive way, and I got stupid.

In past cases, where someone has used it or an alternative that's equally -- maybe more -- offensive, I *have said something.
