I concur and also understand (to an extent) naimless' response.
I remember trying to teach someone GCSE Mathematics. Was it my responsibility for how someone perceived what I tried to teach them? No. Was it my responsibility to convey to them to the best of my ability what I thought? Yes. Depending on my motives, I could have continued to teach them in varying manners until how they understood my meaning matched what I was trying to teach (which I did) but it was not my responsibility to do so, it was merely my intent.
In a world of 'free speech'; we are free to say what we want to say. It's not our responsibility, but it's in our interest to counter-act any misunderstandings caused by what we say. That depends on your outlook, however.
