Offended

Sigh. I hate when I think I've upset someone. I'm good at that, being mean when I intend to be funny.

I don't like offending though. What I can't understand is people who cause offence, then defend it as being the problem of the offended. It doesn't hurt to say "I didn't mean to be offensive, I didn't realise it would offend you and I won't do it again". I hate to see people being told they should get a life because they found something offensive. Who is anyone to decide for another what they deem acceptable?

But still, that's an aside. I think I need to issue a generic apology for when my sense of humour falls flat. Maybe it doesn't, but it's a worry.
