> you've constructed to make it sound more okay to be offended if you feel you hold the more traditional position

You're incorrect. I didn't construct it to do that.

> "Taking offence" is what happens to you when something transgresses against your belief system, it's not just what the bad people do.

All the rest of your comment isn't really to do with what I was saying, although it does illustrate it. I was saying it's silly to change something and then call any pushback "offence", rather than a wide range of things it might be (unnecessary; harder to understand; unfamiliar; yet another change of a bazillion and it'll change again soon).
