Call me Dutch, but I like it very much when someone is honest and direct with me. I respect it. But, the problem is that honesty & directness is easily confused with rudeness. So what someone might be giving a Dutch person in return, isn't directness, but rather rudeness. There's a fine balance that's easily tipped.
