I definitely don't think you were initially being offensive or elitist. You voiced what I'm sure many have thought but never discuss. It was good for you to post this thread because it opened the conversation and hopefully others who have commented or even just read this thread will come away from this topic with more compassion for others. Maybe they will stop and think that the person on the other side of that text just might have had a harder education/upbringing and instead of looking down on them (which we all do at some point or other) look beyond it and be supportive.

This is my goal and I hope others will take this stance as well.
