In my case more like l'esprit de several days later while I'm doing the dishes.

Me: “Well, not right now. Right now, I just want to read my book.”
Awesome. The only place where I'm ever that witty, is in my imagination.

I like Angus' riff on the old adage: one person's liberties end where another person's... no, fuck it. They just don't end.

This is bad. BOOO for harassment!
Okay, the PAS imprint needs to get on to children's books and we've found our author.

Unfortunately though the right not to be offended does not and should not exist, because it is trumped thoroughly by the right of people to freely express themselves.
I beg your pardon?

Er, the quick single comment above was meant to reply to Sofie's how you cross the road thing. Ah, I suck at this Internet thing. Is this thing even on? Where do you speak into? Hello?

I ran out of cards and pencils on Andrew H's second comment.

Ian, that's not what Emma's asking you to do. "Inhale for a minute and just listen" does not equal get out.
C'mon now, are you telling me you've never run a quick single? I don't believe that for a minute.

It does seem intuitive. But that doesn't make it true, and it isn't. If everyone could accept that, I think we'd be a lot further on - on this thread, and as a society.
I wonder if we're still stuck with the late medieval European mindset, all those wonderful instructional books about a woman's virtue being like a castle, and men being like marauding hordes without, and any woman who would not look demure enough or express herself not curtly enough would be implicitly signalling that her, er, drawbridge was ready to be lowered, and the castle just asking to be stormed. How times haven't changed.
Also, Romantic Comedy Behavior Gets Real Life Man Arrested.
That is the message that I get. If you don't agree with a majority position then just listen. Women only. Men get out. If that is netiquette then so ends discussion. Sad.
Whoa bloody nelly. Discussion is not the ultimate end, especially if it is predicated on substituting opinion for experience.
