If someone chooses to take offense, then it was an offensive statement to them.

I see. So offense only exists in the ear of the beholer.

You have a habit of enlarging, of extrapolating, of making more of a statement than it was. That is a bad habit; it weakens your credibility. I did not say "only." You did.

A statement can certainly be intended to be offensive. It flies in the face of reason that someone running for president intended to offend voters who will decide his future at the ballot box.

I've got to put this post in my archives for future reference.

No charge.
