I would say the problem is the offensive posts rather than the 'over-sensitive' member. This forum is full of small-minded bullies (like AdrianC and Aylesbury Duck) which don't create the helpful, inclusive forum this could be.
Some posters on here don't like being told they are wrong and don't like people disagreeing with their point of view. But that doesn't mean they are being bullied just because they don't like it.
To help someone then you need to tell them when they are wrong and when they have made mistakes. If I was making mistakes or incorrectly assumed something I would much prefer to be told straight so I knew, rather than people not wanting to say I was wrong just incase it offended me.
Anything that is even mildly offensive is quickly removed. So if someone is getting upset or offended by anonymous strangers commenting on their thread then they are the one with the problem.0
