I meant what yichusdik is saying: With some thought and consideration for the feelings of others, anything can be said respectfully AND directly.
Ironically and unfortunately, people seem to think that if a Talmid Chacham makes a lot of noise he is a gadol and there must be some substance in what he is saying. That is not at all what I am saying, nor is it true, because regrettably, sometimes Talmidei Chachamim are not deliberate enough and overzealouly use the Torah as a ‘????? ?????’. And all too often people twist their words or outright forge to whatever they wish it should mean. And often, the positions of the baalei davar are mutually exclusive, so one of them must be wrong and the other, possibly right.
