Lord have mercy!!!!
They always do this, whenever we speak boldly about something someone is doing or their need for correction, we are accused of not saying it right.
Just because someone didn't like what we said does not mean we said it badly.
This is the work of psychology to assume someone said something in a mean way simply because the hearer got angry.
People are not dogs who respond to stimuli automatically. Dogs respond to discipline and correction with humility and love you anyway, even if they don't like the correction. They even modify their behavior to please their owner.
Human beings are not like that, they bite, growl and attack anyone who dares to point out a flaw. It is interesting that they will call us mean spirited for speaking truth but when they perceive a slight in us they are free to spew out all kinds of venom.
This is the world we live in. Those who are being chastised to learn refuse to listen. They refuse to even ponder what is said unless it is bathed in flattery and praise.
Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."
Proverbs 26:24-28
"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin."
