I'm an analyst, I deal with multiple interested parties, executives, and data of all sorts. Direct is my preference as well. In my experience disagreeing without being disagreeable typically is more productive than a flame war. Some enjoy that kind of conflict (popcorn, dis gun be gud, etc), some do not.

And I'm enjoying all the info that comes flooding out in the exchange.
Then again, I'm used to directly-spoken folks. It's just part of what I'm used to thanks to my career.
