To those I inadvertently offended:


To give one well known example: The multiple murderer Alton Coleman, who went on a three-state crime spree which included several murders, robberies and violent sexual assaults, was described as pansexual by law enforcement because he would have sex with anything - animals, children, etc - regardless of consent. This is how law enforcement use the word.

I have since become aware that there is a colloquial definition for the term, which does in retrospect make the police use of that word quite offensive. I can adapt my own usage, and will, when discussing the subject in a colloquial way. I had no intention of offending anyone, and regret that I did. I never try to be deliberately cruel.

This is why I prefer dogs.

It's hard to not offend someone these days. I wouldn't feel too guilty about it if I were you.

I appear to be good at it.

I understand completely, as it happens.

This makes much more sense when considered in that context. Thank you for being brave enough to come back here and let us know, instead of slinking away. That, in and of itself proves your sincerity I think.

Interacting with the average populace should not require bravery.

But it so very often does, I'm sorry to say. Society is so odd that way.

I think you're rather brave to say it, and kind to apologize.

Law enforcement doesn't always do things in a way that makes sense. I should know.
