That you have no right to not be offended can also be stated as others have a right to offend you. Just as long as they don't initiate force or steal/damage your property.
The offense that you feel is not part of them or of their non-coercive act, but of you and your response to them or their act. They are not responsible for your reaction.
But you are responsible for how you behave after you are offended.
That's a hard one for some people to swallow. It has been difficult for me at some points in my life. Things go easier for me when I keep that in mind.
