Unless one is quoting from an encyclopedia (and maybe even then), everything one says is an opinion. And anything one says may be offensive to someone. A quandary, methinks.
There seems to be a one-sided view that we must avoid being "offensive" but are not responsible for being offended.
Isn't it implicit that if one posts that he/she is inviting feedback? And isn't it obvious that the post and/or the feedback may offend someone?
Perhaps a proactive approach is needed instead of PBCs and the like: a "no feedback wanted" category of post.
