Is someone with that attitude ever not going to be a problem? I feel like if you could get offended by that, who knows what you'll be offended by. And if that affects how you work with others, your thin skin* is a liability.

*Not saying that being offended is always bad--there are things that one reasonably might be offended by, just that this is one of them.



I'm not sure, but I think you might have left out a "not" near the end of that.

(Because "there are some X which are Y, but this X is not one of them" is a pattern I recognize as common, and "there are some X which are Y, but this is one of them" is not a pattern that I am familiar with)


You're correct. I noticed, but only after it wouldn't let me edit.
