Gonna throw it out there that being offended is always a personal failing. Offense is a feeling of cognitive dissonance, of things not being the way one expects them to be. It is a feeling that is a consequence of ignorance being challenged, of, for example, being exposed to the fact that a person does not share the same verbal taboos.

Mostly agree. There is a certain border that should not be crossed, for example a deliberate deeply personal attack that you know will hit severely. Let's say a woman recently lost her child to cancer and you crack a dead child joke in an attempt to make her feel like crap - that's simply unacceptable. Otherwise, being called stupid, a snowflake, an asshole or even just disagreeing as an "offense" - well no; only thing to say to people who are offended by this is "grow up, you petulant child".
