Are there any other obvious statements that should be made to answer questions posed? And if we don't make these obvious statements, does that indicate that we support all that bad stuff?

Before you start on the excuses, deflection and minimising - perhaps it is it always a good idea to make any obvious statements or suggest any changes that may be required? For if you don't make these obvious statements or any of these suggestions - is can look as if you do support all that bad stuff.
