I'd like to agree... and disagree with you. I absolutely hate
"political correctness" which is just a fancy way of saying "lying to
make the other person feel good" and I don't do it despite the fact
that that decision has made my road rougher at times BUT that is
still
no excuse for me to NOT consider the feelings of the person I am
communicating with.
Considering your position and your apparent success in that
position
you have the ability to relate the facts to the other person without
being offensive or condescending. I think all that "we" are asking is
that you use that talent with us as well as you do with your
customers.
