Making a negative comment palletable is an art. Acquired over time and tuned with wisdom, it's delivery can be as precise and telling as any "straight talking" equivalent.

If the recipient cannot decode the intent then the meaning is lost but communication is still open. Receiving a negative comment without "sugar coating", requires that the recipient must add a level of "sugar coating" to placate the need of the "respectful layer" of the human psyche. This is the inverse of the above fore mentioned ability to decode. Without it, the message content is delivered but communication discontinued after the event.
