I am not offended, and were I offended I would not want you to delete your honest words. Steem will not allow your words to be deleted, and once published on the blockchain, are a permanent part of the blockchain.

When you edit or delete your comments and posts, you do so on the UI you are using to access the Steem blockchain, and do not delete your words on the blockchain itself, but only on the UI you are using.

Your honest thoughts are yours to voice, an aspect of your person just like your eyes, fingers, or hair. You would not delete those if someone said they were offended by them, so do not delete your honest thoughts either. If you change your mind, then you have new honest thoughts, but your old honest thoughts don't not exist because you have changed your mind.

It is enough to state you have changed your mind, and there is no good purpose served by pretending what has happened has not.

Regardless of my judgement, your words are your sacred possession, and merit existence just as you yourself, from your toes to your hair, do. It is meaningless to be judged by me, or anyone else.

You are the only competent judge of you, and the only judgement that matters is your own.
