I suspect that you are offended when you encounter a message that asks
you to use IE instead of the browser you normally use on the web. You'd
feel that they are trying to push their preference onto you, yet you are
doing the exact same thing to others. You'd splutter something like "but
*I* have my visitor's best interests at heart, the others are plain
wrong". Here's a flash: the others would say the same thing about you.
What is the "best" browser to use is highly debatable depending on your
point of view, it is only a matter of opinion.

Including "please" when asking someone who walks into a store to
consider changing the colour of their clothes doesn't make the message
any less offensive.

The issue is your choice of browser, how that is your choice to make,
and how you should not question the choice made by others, or target a
message specifically to people who have made a different choice than you
informing them that you don't agree with their choice.

I'm offended by anyone trying to push their opinion on me, or onto
others.
