I would say people are allowed to be offended but do not have a right to be offended. You are allowed to be a jerk, but that is not a right. You are allowed to not take a shower for a year, but that should not be defended in the Supreme Court as a right. In fact, once the things you are allowed to do impinge on other people's rights, you are then no longer allowed to do them.
So I see offense just like that. You are allowed to do it up to the point you are making other people's rights disappear. In this case the offense felt by all the SJWs is killing the right to free speech.

Yes, I suppose my idea of what a "right" is wasn't quite... right.

That's all right. I think we got it right. Right?

You have a point. Just because something isn't prohibited doesn't mean it's a right. It's a false dichotomy.

Well said @fudog. You said it better than I did! Thank you.
