Can you write something in which you feel or felt offended?

no i can not.
i have never felt "offended"
i do not give a damn what the world thinks of me, and i never have.

i am lucky that i have a set of principles which prevent me from acts of heathenism.

i am irritated by many things, but i am unique, so what ever i hear being sprouted from the mouths of anyone else is just external data to me.

When people called me "ret*d" or "stupid" or "idiot"; it triggers PTSD thoughts of being made fun of when growing up.

Just look a few threads over here on the PPR.

Firemonkey just offended a whole bunch of folks with out even trying just by talking about "Jihadists" and "the Alt Right" in the same breath. Not blaming either him, or the folks he got upset. Just sayin.

Anyone with beliefs and convictions is susceptible to being "offended".

Nope.

Can give you examples of times offence has been offered to me, but I prefer not to take it (though I might give it back to the offender).
