The OP seems to be about ethics and not law. I think in most cases you’re responsible for actions that are reasonably forseeable as a consequence of what you say. But there’s a reason not to make that a hard and fast rule. You may also have a responsibility to speak the truth, even knowing that some people will react badly to it. I would say that if you’re in that kind of situation you should chose where you say it and how you word it to minimize the likelihood of trouble.
