To offend - meaning to cause displeasure, annoyance, anger or resentment. So, if you feel any of these emotions, then you are offended. Why is that such a bad thing?

Your emotions are often the automatic response according to your most deeply held beliefs. Controlling them doesn't mean curbing them. If you are denying your emotions, you are devaluing the beliefs you live by. I think you should be offended - very much so. What you do with that feeling is another matter. Often I find it best to return in kind.
