Definitely not offended. There's no Western Rite Orthodox Church close to me. The closest Orthodox Churches are a Coptic one and a Serbian one.

Seeing as the former are schismatics, I shall have to recommend the latter.

I must say I'm very much in the camp that sees the divisions between Oriental Orthodoxy (and the Church of the East) and the Eastern Orthodox/Western Church as mostly a matter of terminology and emphasis. But, yes, I would probably prefer Eastern Orthodoxy.

It's a good deal more complicated than that, as shown by a recent move against the doctrine of theosis among the Copts, including by the last Pope, and, at the same time many Orthodox are extremely positive about closeness with the Copts, the Copts in the main appear to prefer to move towards Rome.
