Yes, I've offended but I am sure I have offended people as well. If I'm offended I just don't read it, but YES I would go back again

Yes, I have been offended by a topic, but It depends on the topic as to whether or not I'll let the person know. Probably, if the topic was about adoption, infertility, or something personal like that, I would leave the person a comment.

I can't say that i've been 'offended' but i've had differing ideas on the subject. I may or may not comment, but realize that everyone has their opinions on things. Things like of the nature Lindsay mentioned is in huge poor taste and that would turn me off big time.

I was offended on one lately too that's why I posted the question. I didn't leave any comment though, I just won't go back to the blog.

Yes but like the others I think I can stop reading and probably shouldn't read blogs in the first place that don't match my belief system.

I haven't been, yet. But, it'd take a lot to really offend me. If it was something along the lines of what Lindsay posted, yea I wouldn't go back. But if it was simply a difference of political views or personal things, I would give 'em a second chance.

I have been offended before, for instance posts that differ vastly from my belief system, but I don't reply, and just stop reading that blog.

Yes I read things all the time and think... I can't believe I'm reading this! I usually just move on.

Yes, I have been offended before. But I did not let the writer know. People share a difference in viewpoints and well, if I do not like what I read I just don't go back.

I'm sure i have been but nothing specific is coming to mind. I am a Wiccan Libertarian and its October, getting close to Halloween and right before an election. The odds of my coming across something I could find offensive religiously or politically are pretty high right now. But I know that, so I deliberately choose not to be offended by things said in passion or ignorance.

I might chime in with my own point of view or not. If it's a blog I read regularly I am unlikely to stop just for one or two posts I don't like. If it's someplace new & I find no compelling reason to return, I won't

I haven't really been offended and sure hope mine doesn't offend anyone but mine is pretty PG.

I was offended one time over at johncow.com. He used the "C" word and I thought it was extremely distasteful. I told him how I felt and that was that. No hard feelings...I still enjoy him, his blog, and his woman's blog.
