hostile

A quote from a mail today..

"I am sorry you feel that we are being unreasonable in our pricing.
I'm not quite sure that we deserve the level of hostility that you
seem to be showing towards us, or what we did to earn it from you."

Man.. This is the second time in a week I've been called 'hostile.' I guess I've stepped it up a notch. It usually only happens once a month!

At the last job I had the 'hostile' beaten out of me (well.. ok, maybe not) and the same happened for a few others while I was there. The company is a bunch of engineers. Engineers talk often talk 'hostile' when they feel that something is very broken. If the 'hostile' is beaten out then you basically are throwing away very valuable early warning signs from your engineers. Sounds like a terrible plan to me.

Anyway.. I'm not hostile. I'm just not good enough at english to communicate in pleasant subtlety!
