Now it's been 17 summers since I've seen my mother

But every night I see her smile inside my dreams

Not SJW, but free speech, or rather as I like to refer to it "The Right to Offend."

This line stands out to me more than anything else you've posted. Can you elaborate? If you said something that offends me - does my defense not count as free speech?

Idk man. Lots of people decide they want to be indignant for reasons other than genuine outrage. Of many people who are genuinely offended it might be concluded that they ought to loosen up, that the world is not all about them, etc.

Why is giving offense such a big offense? Can you convince me I should care about someone's butthurt for its own sake?

You share the globe with 7 billion people. That's actually enough to get you to stop and listen.

That's your fault if you don't feel other people are worthwhile sharing your time, manners, and knowledge on earth with. That's this loving forum in a nutshell - quit caring for people and your environment, it makes life harder to deal with when you have to be social and actually remember you aren't the center of the universe, not even your own universe.
