Since when did expressing an opinion become offensive?
People always throw that term around. Mostly they do it because it makes them feel better about themselves. 99.99% of the whole "quilt police" thing is all in their own head. Once in a great while somebody will run into a "you should never, you should always" person and invariably you find out that person isn't a quilter anyway.
There. Now that I've made everybody mad I think I'll iron and cut some fabric.
