Duplicate Questions in the Questions for the Producer Live Letter Thread

[Matsume]

Somewhat true, although that doesn't take away from it indeed being an 'offensive act' to some (in particular those who you claimed were duplicating questions, when from their perspective [and perhaps others..] it was an entirely different question). And that second part doesn't even apply here as you aren't 'bearing any bad news' nor did anyone blame you for anything (well, except for maybe trolling, but I don't think that was your intent).

I don't see how expressing my opinion is an offensive act.

If someone has the right to claim that my opinion (that their question is a duplicate) is offending them, then I reserve the right to claim that their opinion (that their question isn't a duplicate) is offending me -on the basis of equality. For are we not equal in opinion?

Right. As I said, some will take your opinion offensively. You are of course entitled to your opinion, as are they. I was simply agreeing that some ppl will lash out when they feel they've been offended, ie referring to this as a troll thread when it's pretty clear that wasn't your intent.
