Can you please stop calling open communication abuse? First you have
to explain *why* it was improper in order to call it abuse, and in the
few examples that have been shown, it has been explained that the
behavior was justified (breaking the #1 rule by a lieutenant who
should know better).

You can think whatever you want, others have already shown that
changing the tone of the message in the examples would have changed
the desired effect.
