If someone chooses to take offense, then it was an offensive statement  
to them. If that is the case, then if the speaker chooses to, he can  
try to elaborate his full meaning, where he is coming from, what he  
sees, what he hopes to do, how he hopes to energize people.

At some point I would judge my time better spent elsewhere and just  
let it go. As I will here.
