"I am not insensible of the Impossibility of pleasing all, but I would not willingly displease any; and for those who will take Offence where none is intended, they are beneath the Notice of."
- Benjamin Franklin, writing "anonymously" as the widow Silence Dogood, in 1722 at the age of 16. I wonder what he would say of today's constantly offended Twitter snowflake generation.
