Number two dude. Offense is taken normally because the insultive statement does not apply.

Example is if I announced to the world Evie likes performing fellatio on horses. I'm betting this does not apply to you (it is untrue) so offense to the statement is a normal and expected reaction.

You horse sucker.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
