What should we call people who are offended by written words?

I was thinking of simply calling them "Sensitive Souls." See this thread: People Who Are Offended By Written Words Have Too Many Legal Rights

However, now it occurs to me that they could be called "The Logos SS."

3. Human?

Writing is merely another form of communication, and therefore carries as much potential to offend as does something spoken. And there's something that's going to offend almost everyone; whether it's The Satanic Verses or Mein Kampf. But I personally would say that those who take offence and then go on to try to prevent others from having access to a book because it offends them should be called fascistic pigfuckers.
