It's not about being offended. It's about stifling communication. If someone calls you an idiot, do you continue to listen to them? Do you want to have a real conversation with them? That does not appear to be the case to me. When one person calls another person an idiot, the response immediately seems to be "Well you're one too."

That's not such a great advancement of issues. I'm sure it advances everyone hating each other, but aside from that advancement, I really don't see the benefits.
