First off, I have told you before re the utterly defenseless ! christian... Proclivity of
choosing "YOU offended me, or I am offended & YOU are the cause, & YOU better Apologize (by castrating yourself before me, as it were). It's crappy behaviors like that All-high+mighty Arrogance, that makes me AVOID most christians.
So do >I< ever get Offended? YES. When a person INTENDS harming or hurting me, or someone else (as do the 3-letter agencies, Or even just 1 person), I Choose to be offended. AND yes, such Abusive behaviors DO merit Apologies at the very least.
So what started all that ^^ you ask? - By you typing "offended" thrice in 2 sentences :) I am just explaining myself, Again - as you seem to have forgotten :)

Also re "Manipulative persuasion" = it all depends on who such Benefits...:
does it Improve/Better the helped-persons LIFE... ie both Quantity+Quality
IF "Manipulative persuasion" is used to gently Force someone for YOUR sole benefit, then it is wrong.
