posting it, or yours for reacting to it? Don't you just validate the question by being offended?

I just ignore those questions for the most part. they aren't worth reading. If they are humorously offendedsive I might look in but generally don't even answer.

Exactly. The most annoying are athiests who just want to start arguments with people who aren't. If they're supposedly smarter than Theists, shouldn't they be happier, not bitter, and not filled with hate? Only petty little minded people want to start arguments.
Answer such offending questions, but say something like "You have too much time on your hands." or "You haven't had a date since...well...ever! Have you?" or "Someday you'll have a real friend, not just the blow up kind". Arguing with them is what they want, and it only encourages them further.

I have considered this, quite seriously. I have read several opening statements, then opened the question and found something very vulgar. In that instance, I usually just have a disgusted ughh....
When I see they are opening with an offensive line, I pass on by, choosing not to put my eyes before something distasteful.

If the intent is to offend, then the normal reaction would be to be offended. Its not validating it unless you respond with a flurry of abuse yourself, or tell the questioner how offended you are.
Its one thing to react to it, its another to reply.

I am not offended because I know the source of the offence and what it is sent to do. I love my Father and I know that He has an enemy. That enemy is known by many names and Satan is just one of his names. I use to be an enemy of God before He sent His Spirit to abide in me. When I followed Satan, I did not even know it. But now I know him well and I am aware of his schemes. I will not take Satan's bait and allow myself to be offended by other people who may someday become my Brother or Sister.

I prefer the sarcastic approach personally!

Yeah, it's foolish to let open yourself to be offended. Christians don't understand the concept of, "if you don't like it, look away."

You are correct, and it's a part of human nature.
