Do you see a difference between offending a person or group of people, and offending a set of political beliefs? Because far too often, people will claim personal offence, when in fact all they really want to do is stifle criticism of their beliefs. Like you say, I could go into a conservative club and offend the queen, and the people there may claim personal offence. Why? I didn't insult them. Of course I agree with you that private clubs should require people to abide by the rules, and I wouldn't go to a Robbie Williams fan club and start taking the piss out of him either. But that doesn't change the fact that there is a clear difference between going somewhere and insulting the people there, and going somewhere and expressing a viewpoint, however rudely, that the majority of people disagree with. Both would often get you kicked out of a club or internet forum. But in the public arena, generally the former would get you into trouble, whereas the latter wouldn't. I don't see any contradiction in that. Do you?
