It's impossible to write anything about anyone at all without offending someone, potentially. Say you're writing something positive about a person, let's call him X. Now, X has a detractor named Y who seriously, seriously, dislikes X. She's likely to be offended by whatever you write about X that's not offensive to X himself. And maybe the reverse is also true. And that's just 2 persons. It gets worse when religious groups are involved. Or entire countries. Write something positive about say Chang Kai Check and the PRC government is not going to like it at all.
