When ever I post something in one of the Guilds that I am a part of someone takes it the wrong way.
Ex: Title of something that I posted: This may sound a little blonde...
I asked people what was cosplay because I had no idea what it was.
And this girl got all mad because the title offended her.
She said that she was blonde and she finds that offensive.
I was not meaning it in a bad way.
I have respect for people in that guild.
Tell me what you think.

well, sometimes you just need to ignore things like that, you can apologize and try not to say that again if you want, but it's really no sin to say such a thing, people know the color of your hair has nothing to do with your intelligence, and if some people take offense at that, well, what can you do? you're not doing it to be mean,
and maybe you should explain it that way, maybe you'll help her by doing so, because i'm sure her taking offense like that and getting angry is not good for her soul,
it's good to practice humility in cases like this though, when people get angry at us for things we didn't do or things they misunderstood, and we feel hurt or angry because of that, that is actually our pride,
of course those feelings aren't sinful just to feel them, it's more sinful to act on them, but a good prayer to say when you are feeling that way from someone hurting or offending you is, "Lord, make them happy in this life and in the next" that way you are making yourself feel better(it works for me) and you're also pleasing God because you are being selfless and humble and showing love to your neighbor.
other then that...i'd just recommend trying not to let it bug you to much, because chances are, they forget about it after about 10 minutes razz

Do try to be sensitive and apologize sincerely if someone takes offense. However there's always the risk of offending someone no matter what title you post up. It's going to be especially likely if it's a topic that truly matters in the world at large.
Truth is your don't let any offenses get the better of you. Forgive and forget does work wonders if both parties are willing to do just that (which really isn't so big an expectation.)
