I think characterizing that as “Oli is a bad counterparty” instead of something like “Oli doesn’t follow glowfic!lawful deity norms” or “I regret having Oli as a counterparty” is impolite
I see your point and initially agreed that “Oliver is a bad counterparty” is indeed not polite and intended to change that, but saw that I actually wrote “Oliver is not a good counterparty”.
That was produced by “Oliver is the kind of counterparty you might regret having dealt with, as I have”.
It’s less of an impolite judgement than “Oliver is a bad counterparty”, but if you think it reads the same, I’ll try to change that to be more polite while still expressing that I think it often makes sense for people to be careful around him.
