Okay, so you run across something you feel to be slightly offensive in someone's journal - someone you know and who is on your f'list. Not personally offensive, but possibly offensive to another group, or nation, or religion, or what have you.

Do you say something?

ETA: When I say offensive I don't mean that they're being deliberately offensive. That is, they're not trying to be mean or insulting. They're just kidding around, is all. Basically it's your classic foot-in-mouth situation but they don't seem to realize it.

I'd say yes, PM the person. I had someone do that to me a couple months about a story I'd written, raising an issue I'd never even considered. An eight-word disclaimer later, no feelings were hurt and everyone went home happy, but that might not have been true if she hadn't said something.

Unless you know the person is touchy about that kind of thing, in which case I'd say let sleeping dogs lie.
