Of course I may be, I was merely stating my opinion.

My point being that the mistake is either offensive or it isn't. The attitude of the CEO is either offensive or it isn't. The attitude of the CEO does not make the mistake offensive if it wasn't offensive to begin with.(as the OP suggested it did)

And I took the line "these are the folk
