Consider it this hypothetical way: an artist paints a canvas blue, intending to represent the sky. However, the people he's shows it to interpret it as the ocean. He gets mad and goes off on a tangent about how they're wrong. They didn't have any prior indication that he intended to represent the sky with his art. Do you think that's right of him to do, to call their assumptions wrong because they had no clear idea of his intentions?
I'm not offended, I'm insulted. Those are two different emotions.
You're suggesting that every person on these forums places a disclaimer before their post, to make sure that someone - like you, I assume - who has crippling emotional stability (I assume) will not take offense to something by reading said disclaimer. This is not only silly, but downright borderline the same thing I accused you of doing earlier; baiting. You're silly. You really are.
I am not required to consider someone elses feelings off of my professional job. I am not getting paid to pander to your feelings so you'll offer me more money, or buy more of my product. I have no viable interest in ensuring your mental stability. To what end does any good come out of what you're suggesting?
I know a common thing here is to use /s when refering to sarcasm. If you want to prevent arguments like this, I would advise you do that, but you do you, really.
