Exactly right.
Stephen Fry, like George Carlin, is another god (a Britishian god!) and this quote by him demonstrates how EP is objectively wrong (and I'm being super cereal about this):
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

I'm Super. Duper. Cereal.
