I was raised that a little dirt,sweat and smell was the sign of hard work and nothing to be ashamed of.
Money is still green no matter how dirty you get.

"CHANGING THE WAY YOU LOOK AT RECYCLING"

People don't "let" themselves get offended, if you understand how emotions work, you also understand that people cannot help what illicits an emotion, nor what emotion is illicited. I found what you have said offensive, and I am not what I would consider a scrapper. I was offended none the less because of how it sounds to me. I didn't take it personally, but thought how it would offend other people instead. This is not something I could make a decision before hand not to feel, it was a reaction that naturally happens without "letting myself get offended"
I think maybe you are "letting yourself say too much" and maybe it's time to stop what you are doing, and think about what you have said. The great thing about saying things you made a mistake saying, is that you can always go back and explain you didn't realize it would be offensive, apologize gracefully, make the decision you are going to be a man and say the right thing instead of arguing the wrong thing.
Scott
At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
