@BillRM,
We should have known we were in trouble when getting forced to look at someone smoking a cig (which is for most people actually ending up in the line of sight of someone smoking a cig, no need to look, but the opportunity to look) became a legit cause for offense. I said so at the time btw.
Twitchy/stupid/thin skinned is not a good combo, but we see a lot of it.
You pretty much need to go to a comedy show now to be around good comedy, and that probably will not last, the rest has been ruined by cow towing to the objections of the squeamish, and more often those using false claims of offense to control those around them.
