It is not necessary at all to be brutal to get good technical
work done. It is a choice.
DIsagree. Not brutal, but (as I said) brutally honest - which is an
idiom. (That's the best expression that currently comes to my mind,
but there might be a better one.)
I'll also point out that we use consensus-based decision-making
in the IETF, and it may be worth a re-read (or first-time read)
of RFC 7282.
I find this belittling and insulting. Of course I'm aware that we used
consensus-based decision-making. But the appearance of consensus is
misleading if people aren't permitted to openly express their views,
even if they do so in a suboptimal manner.
