As whatever one posts may offend someone.Someone may find all your posts offenssive, does that mean you have to show restraint all the time, and not post? No, of course not, that's just silly. Bt all means critise, make your feeling known, but you, I and everyone do not have a right to be protected from offence.
Everyone has the right to feel offended, everyone has the right to give offence - but it is the intent that matters.
There was no malicious intent by MIMH. In fact there was not even a link to the Villagio fire, as this was about something else......that link was dremprt up/imagined by someone else. No one can be held responsible for the imaginings of every Tom, Dick or Harry.
Where the line is crossed is when someone incites or blatently threatens physical harm on someone.That's a tangable threat and not mixed up with the vaguries of offence and taste.
