some people take being offended to the nth degree.
offensive username

How is that offensive? It's just play-on words, and clever ones at that. Are you under the age of 9? If no, then I think you're mature enough to see the humor in it or ignore it. If yes, then you probably shouldn't be on chess.com.
I knew there'd be comments like this one. If you don't see the offense, you should really look hard in the mirror.
I find professional victims like you offensive. You are always on the watch for trigger words, "offensive speech", words/behavior that are not PC. If it was "imatedyourdad" you would not have claimed you were offended. Anyone can claim they are offended by anything. That doesn't mean anyone else is obligated to do anything or even give a sh#$$t. You desperately need attention, and a feeling of importance. Go somewhere else until you gro up. Unless this is just a troll thread, in which go somewhere else and stay there

my 17-year-old son got me up-to-date on modern lingo the other day.
People like you are SJWs (social justice warriors):
The Ado About Nothing continues. ab121705 could well be right about them. Either way, when I have a problem with someone/something I just solve it without moaning and carrying on about it online. Unlike SOME people, I don't feel the compulsion to tell the world about my issue especially if its as silly and insignifgant as this issue. We should all just drop it already instead of paying attention to and debating it endlessly which is exactly what whoever started this wants whether they were actually offended or not. The internet would be much better without these sorts of sagas.

The problem is the person who actually thought making a public post about his perceived offense was a good idea.
Personally I find names beginning with Z, O or L offensive, unless they end with a K. Of course, I don't make a habit of letting people know of my OCD lest I get picked on by people named Zoe or Lenny.

More of a shame is the guy or few guys that make multiple accounts daily. They leave very stupid comments in the same method, then delete their account. I don't think staff does enough to site-ban some players that are bringing morale of good community down.

op - go to your safe space and cover your ears; anything you see or hear can and will offend you. You are proud to take offense. Makes you feel special

I agree. Sometimes, I will go to the profile page and noticed that their account is only a week old. i wouldn't mind if new joined people are given limited access to posting in forums. I have seen other social sites do the same. Will someone have a shelf ID and wait for the probation period to end. Sure, but these are dedicated trolls.
What about offensive avatars?
