(11,181 posts)In fact he is saying the opposite. It isn't even a language issue, which I would understand if you had both learned English as a second language. It is basic grammar. Think about it.
Now, apart from the double negative blooper, let us examine what Fry is actually saying, shall we?
He is expressing an opinion about people who whine, by using the phrase "I'm offended by that". And I agree with him.
I sometimes use the term "I find that offensive", especially when responding to extremists. That does not mean that I feel personally offended. Far from it.
When you and your buddies insult me and my family, I am not offended, even though you are being offensive.
Fry is not expressing an opinion on people who insult others because of their religious beliefs, though I'm sure he would find them as obnoxious as I do.
I know the subtleties of language can be challenging, but I hope this has helped.
BTW, I love you too.
