We are talking. I didn't intend to offend anyone. If anyone feels
insulted please accept my apology.

I stand by the statement

"He lacks empathy and humanity (or "human touch"). The social
indifference with which he fills the undertaker project, I consider
questionable."

Please see this statement in context after multiple people have tried to
express that at some point, a HR project like Undertaker, cannot blindly
 follow rules. But when you ignore everyone and keep doing your thing...
that's when I say you are lacking...
