> It's true that Bro. Tyler was innocent in that he let the post slip past him but the fact is that we as Christians should be offended my this type of language.  One expects to hear that type of thing in a worldly setting. But HF is not that setting so I agree with her that whoever posted the joke made insulted the group.

Dave responds:
Although I don't use this type of language, it takes a whole lot more
than just a slip of a word that accidently got by a Christian man,
namely Tyler, to offend me or insult me. I can't let every wind of
"doctrine" blow me here and there. This is what "insults" and "offenses"
are...they cause us to be blown here and there. 

Again, can we all forgive Bro. Tyler's mistake? It wasn't intentional.
Again, let us not allow things to easily offend us - Psalm 119:165. This
is the reason why there are many backsliders...they got offended
somewhere or got hurt. Be stronger than that.
