Was I Being Unreasonable to point out the potential to offend in this FarceBook post?

[PurplePidjChickIsNotTheMessiah]

I may have made a total twat of myself, the person (not the person who posted it) arguing against me certainly thinks I am. The picture reads:

Dear God, grant me the patience to endure the window-licking, crayon-eating, helmet-wearing fucktards I'll encounter today.

So, outrageously offensive or harmlessly humorous?

Offensive.

YANBU.

It would make me pull a face

Offensive. And not humorous. They are a knobjockey, not you.

YANBU.

I wouldn't have bothered arguning. I would have defriended or hidden it, but there is generally no point trying to reason with the people who make and share these things, it only makes them do it all the more to offend more people.

arguing*

offensive but not point arguing, I'd hide or delete

Exactly what chrismissy says.

Well done OP. An old school friend of mine posted this yesterday. I was extremely offended so I replied with a rant, then 10 mins later I deleted it and hid the post as I really didn't have the energy to have a row.

I am glad I have seen what sort of person she is though.

The OP didn't realise, apologised, and is generally lovely so no reason to defriend. It's someone else who is trying to say i should shut up it's just a joke

It is a hideous thing to post and makes me glad I don't do Facebook and expose myself to 'jokes' like that.

Some days I might feel like that, but I'd certainly never say it and even less of a chance of posting that on FB.

What do you mean you feel like that???

Delete Delete Delete.

That is offensive.

Enfyshedd, how lovely of you that on some days you feel like that about people with learning difficulties.

hide it before some twat turns up and tells you that its your fault that santa is banned (apparently , I've seen 3 so far this year!!) so as not to offend the black gays and it's PC gone made etc etc

• honestly, arguing about these things on facebook just adds fuel to their fire! it really does!

If it read "Dear Deity-of-choice, please grant me the patience to endure all the two-faced bigotted wankpuppets I'll encounter today" I'd have laughed. It's the choice of language i don't like!

My partner is black, my 3 week old child is mixed race and I have many years experience supporting people with learning difficulties including my 7yo niece. Most people i know (fb and otherwise) know better than to even try it with me

This one forgot to do his homework and is being eaten alive...

Actually, sorry, can't have two-faced in case I offend any followers of Janus

you'll only prove them right.. in their eyes anyway! The fact that you object to them "enjoying a joke" is proof that they need to fight for their right to be wankers before the gays get their way and ban christmas all together!

YANBU. I have had FB 'friends ' post this kind of rubbish before, and just unfriended them straight away. They have always been tenuous FB friends ie people I haven't seen for ages, old school classmates etc so no loss - my proper friends would never say something like that.

what does the status mean?

Jingle, i mostly use fb while breastfeeding - pointing out how twattish the twats are being provides me with endless amusement

and them with an audience
