I think I'm in an offensive mood today...I should probably blog instead of post around here today.
Least that way, I offend everyone at the same time!

If I understand your post you are asking about how to address those who get offended at what you say in a godly manner?
The answer to that is hard if you look at each situation with a microscope and try to please everyone based on how you personally perceive they will react to what you say.
Communication even in this form is difficult because all communication requires interpretation and that is where things get bogged down, misconstrued and assumptions are made.
Clarifying everything we say so as not to offend can get tiresome. And frankly, I like you have gotten to the point where I just don't care to attempt the eggshell walk.
However the universal remedy for all this is to speak the truth in love. Approach every conversation with love and don't let the flesh come in and take over. As long as you have said what you feel is right in love with the right motive and without any malice, envy, or ulterior motive your conscience is clean and you can walk away not having to worry about how they took it. That is God's job.
Blessings

I'm pretty sure I'm not that holy. 
My motives are rarely unselfish. 
But I have had some clarity on these matters recently.
Thanks!

I'm offended that people are talking about rectal thermometers in another thread!

I am offended the rectal thermometer package did not say I needed help using the product!

Just so our new poster doesn't get the wrong impression, we've actually discussed the issue and for the most part now we are just being goofballs...
Welcome JAMWAO, and thanks for letting us know your thoughts :)

I always said you were a really sharp dresser.
A real cool cat.
You're hip to the lastest fashion trends.
Celebrities ask you whose dress to wear (isn't it embarressing when a man asks you that...)
Edited so that no one was offended by my spelling error. (although *brat* also fit)
