I don't think regarding being offended as useful or not really matters. It is just a fact of life, if people use language that has an inherently negative context towards a certain identity, there will be people who get offended. This seems like a cop out to me, to try and justify the use of said language and place the blame on the people who object to its usage.
What I said to you was that being very angry when you respond to something is often a waste of energy that may be more divisive than constructive. So, yes: being offended to the point of outrage does matter when you respond. You encountered this earlier when you got modded. How are you even still confused about this? This makes no sense.
