The difference with your example is that your 2bx phrased it so negatively and phrased more as a fact rather than his opinion.
That's what I meant. It was the "rudeness" that I didn't like and much prefer not to live with. It's like if you make a batch of walnut cookies and give one to someone who doesn't like walnuts and they say "These cookies suck." vs. saying "Thank you for offering me a cookie, they seem otherwise delicious but I really don't like walnuts." Which person would you prefer to bake cookies for in the future?
