He didn't mean you, he specifically said "high-profile". Apropos of this whole thing of giving and taking offense, I'm currently crewing a production [2] of Princess Ida [2], in which - in her university - a set of chessmen was enough of a crime to warrant expulsion, and a sketch of a perambulator (double perambulator, shameless girl!) was met with a three-term suspension. Yet in the rest of the world, neither is in the least offensive. Of course, this is an exaggeration for the benefit of opera, but it does highlight the fickle nature of offensiveness...
