Offending

You say walking around in fur is "damaging" people. What is your reason for this? Because, you said, it would offend them deeply.

I do agree some people would be deeply offended.

But I am deeply offended by the notion that the offensive should be illegal. And I am deeply offended by this sort of "burden of acceptability" which requires new or unusual things to justify themselves, and otherwise suppresses them.

That certainly is not one of the principles of America.
