Your dazzling wit and intelligence are lost on me. Please dumb it down so an ignoramus like me can understand what you mean, since I still don't "get it"

I think what he is saying is that there is a fine line between being precious and being insulted.

I think what he is saying is that there is a fine line between being affectedly or excessively delicate,

and
affront.

At what point, according to you, does it cease to become "excessively delicate"?

Being assaulted while walking down the street?

Being discriminated against when applying for a job?

Being shot at?

Having your "temple" attacked and your religious scriptures being torn up? (just happened last night in Spokane, Washington)

I guess we shouldn't be so delicate and easily offended, so we should just keep a stiff upper lip and quiet down so as not to appear indignant and insulted. After all, it's just paper. If we had any real sense we wouldn't make a big fuss about it.

Oh, but better not touch that Catholic nun's habit. That's what's really precious.

Nice one
