In my defence the toes on which I tread appear somewhat fragile
Everyone has a right to be offended. But they don't have a right not to be offended. To keep banging one particular drum, this link has been reposted by a second (unknowing) party with no preview and a NSFW -the kind of respect for the feelings for others I very much approve of.
Discussion is very important to me, perhaps moreso than preserving the emotional states of those involved, to close a topic from discourse is to strangle the mind. As with all things one must tread a balance; too afraid of causing offence and you'll never speak out against things you disagree with. As I have said above, filming this pathetic (in the true sense of the word)creature in this state, for this purpose is not a respectful act.

Well to be honest I have no problem in having a discussion.
It's expecting one in this thread I find suspect, if not that just a little bit foolish. Nevertheless your final point is a good one.
