You only put no offense if you actually mean it offensivly, Alex.

No, you say "no offense" if you mean "I didn't mean that in a bad way, hope you didn't take it that way". If you are being sarcastic but friendly, which is what *saying* "no offense" and meaning "offense" would be, then you put some kind of sarcastic smiley beside it, like

. If you are being sarcastic and bitingly caustic, you say "oh, *no offense* or anything

".
That's my take on it, anyway, which is at least as valid as yours BL, right?

<--- smiley meaning "not trying to be rude or antagonistic, hope you don't take it that way"
