I know education is hard to find in the states, but come on, even a first grader knows that "you" can represent a group of people? Unless... It's worse than I thought in your specific case.

Yes, it can mean a group of people. A group of people necessarily including the person you're talking to.

Thus, when you said to me:

You could just go back to licking your flag

You were talking about a group of people which necessarily includes me, thus you were insulting me.

Again, I hope this English lesson helps you. Feel free to find a dictionary that disputes it though.

If you feel insulted by it, does that mean you do in fact spend your time licking your flag?

When you wrote:

If you feel insulted by it,

Are you talking about me or a group of people that are not me?

When you say:

does that mean you

Are you talking about me or a group of people that are not me?

When you say:

your flag

Are you talking about me or a group of people that are not me?

Please clarify.
