"whoops... "Defend" in the first sentence should be "offend"."
No biggie. I try to avoid getting all wound up over personal offense. Otherwise, I wouldn't have that much fun.
And, most of my fierceness . . . 98+%? . . . is regarding the CONTENT and not the person. So, none intended the other way, either.
And, if I worried too much about those I may be offending, goodness, I couldn't breathe hereon. Lots of people are offended just seeing my screen name without any post attached! LOL.
