Those people comprise a constituency known as the
"professionally offended". They are expert (or, at

"Offense Theft"(tm) -- the taking of offense where
none is offered.
As technical communicators, I hope we'll all add
these precise, accurate, descriptive terms to our
vocabularies and apply them wherever remotely
appropriate.
