Emphasis is definitely not the defining feature of pearl clutching, and rhetoric isn't a dirty word. I used emphasis to draw your attention to what I thought was most important - pretty normal behavior. That's all well and good if you are okay with what he's doing, I personally think he's skirting the edge of professional ethics while attacking the people who are actually doing this work, and I think that's pretty crummy. Frankly if you want to tell me that I'm "pearl clutching" and that my rhetoric is "like the Daily Mail" in an exasperated tone, but that you aren't being insulting, then I don't think you're being entirely honest with me. (For what it's worth I don't take offense.)
