Yeah, nobody here has ever worded anything poorly before 
It is what it is. Get over it.

my husband was reading some white whine comments to me yesterday. i told him if we ever have children and they react that way, they are never getting gifts again.
All of the gifts we gave were thought out specifically for that person. Some were harder than others, like my brother's wife, because we don't know her all that well. I think that they all appreciated their gifts, but if I ever found out that they were complaining about them later, I would have a hard time putting any effort into their gift in the future.

I know this girl (young adult, maybe 20 years old...), on Christmas she posted a status about how her dad didn't get her some dvd she wanted.
Her dad is a single dad who raised three daughters entirely on his own, put two of them through college, all three girls and their dad live in a two bedroom apartment, they have trouble affording maintaining their cars to get to work...I seriously feel like if I was her father I'd kick her out of the house.

I like "gifting". I get more excited to see people open the gifts I got for them than what I get from them. I dont even care if I get any in return. I am rather easy to please, it could be a home made card or a special rock you picked up on the way to my house, it wouldnt bother me.
Its the thought that counts. It doesnt matter to me if someone paid $500 or paid a discount $5 gift to me, I make sure they all get them same reaction. "I love 'em all!" because that is the truth.

No but it's the polite thing to do when you say something offensive (and we tried to explain why it's offensive. If people don't get it, I can just hope nobody in their family will adopt a child with this sort of mentality). But I guess politeness is lost on some people, apparently. But I guess we're online, so you're right, people can say horrible things and not have to apologize for it.
I find this offensive. I think you owe me an apology.
My point being... anyone can find anything offensive. She explained what she meant, she didn't mean it the way people took it... so what exactly does she have to apologize for?
Yea, it was the horriblest thing I ever saw anyone say. Far more horrible than passive-aggressively calling people impolite because they don't agree with you. -_-
