I don't necessarily say it should have been said by you but if the message was passed to them, would that have been inappropriate to say that to them - to say: "Look, listen I think you are right, we must now take drastic steps and it seems to us that that means what you say, the elimination of problematic people".  Now couldn't you have said that, couldn't that message have been passed to them - the message passed to them?
