Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think the problem is with how you worded it. I think the problem is with what happened at the meeting. How was the presenter supposed to know, before receiving feedback , that someone would consider her words to be "othering"?
But DanBC explicitly said the person admonishing the speaker was wrong, so how are you expecting him to answer that?
I wasn't. I was agreeing with DanBC, not arguing with him.
