What offense are you committing, exactly? For healthy people, their sense of self-worth is determined by fiat, possibly with some input from close friends and family, not by anyone else.

Likewise, in any society with real liberty/freedom, everyone and everything is open to insult and mockery. As soon as people start adding "Yeah, but...." they're willingly giving control of their own lives (which is bad enough) and others' lives (because they are essentially assertng that we all have to live by their standards) to some outside committee.
