    Yes, that's how I mean it.

    Thanks :-)

    I still think that from an objective point of view there's a slight difference between "feeling offended" (which just requires an assumed intention) and "being offended" (which requires a real intention). That would mean that "I will offend the others (although not intentional)" isn't really coherent, because offending someone from the offenders point of view requires an intention. And I think that nobody can be happy when feeling offended, else it couldn't be an offense, could it? ;-)
