Maybe. I just happen to be in a lot of associations where it doesn't
seem to get in the way like it is doing here. Blame culture seems to be
high on your list of communication. Personally, I don't want any part of
that. Hardly surprising people come across as defensive if attacked. 

"I am too old to bother about others bruised egos".

Well I'm old enough to realise people are what make things work and if
they are volunteers all they will do is take their resources elsewhere.
It ain't what you say its the way that you say it, that's what gets
results.
