Me: "You are turning this thing into something it is not; something it has no business being. Separate this from how you feel, and connect it to verifiable facts. Saying, "I don't like...", "I don't feel..." isn't helping, because you have facts available, but you keep pointing to how you feel and what you like, completely ignoring the facts."

Manager: "I feel you are attacking me."

Me: "I just told you that you are turning something into what it isn't supposed to be, and your response is to say I am attacking you? That's an attack? So when what you do is pointed out, it is a personal attack? So, you shouldn't be told that you may be wrong in making official decisions, that are supposed to be objective, about you and how you feel? It is an attack to lay the truth at your feet because it speaks against your actions? Really?"

👆🏿 Sometimes, we don't realize that when we base a decision or action on how we feel, or what we like or don't like, we are making decisions subjective; we are making them about us, when they absolutely aren't. If it's your own business, you can do what you want, but if it isn't, it's not good for the business, and it's not a good look.
