Sometimes it's good to be offended and not pretend it didn't happen.

You make some fairly strong points. I will ponder what you said. I've already complained and I still stand by that complaint. That thread is very offensive, much like dropping a crucifix into a jar of urine. Must we tolerate all sorts of blasphemy without a protest? I don't think so. Knowing that it exists and tolerating it in my face are two different things.

I will be thinking over this dichotomy for future application.

No, but we must direct our protests in the right direction. The reporting of it isn't the problem. It was the act itself.

If somebody is trashing my religion and doing it in order to offend me, I don't want to be shielded from that. I want to know so that I understand my enemy better. I'd rather know who hates me than to believe nobody hates me at all.
