YES There is such a difference in being short, curt, or whatever you want to say, and being awful. Pointing out obvious mistakes, flaws, and other issues is part of being a supervisor/manager/executive. Some do not have time to mince words and beat around the bush. When it becomes personal attacks/insults, that's the line. The question you have to ask yourself is - am I listening to the feedback or am I ignoring it because it wasn't presented how I wanted it to be presented?
