This reminds me of what Ben Franklin said in the John Adams mini-series.
"It's perfectly acceptable to insult someone in private. Sometimes they might even thank you for it afterwards, but when you do it in public, they tend to think you are serious."

You'll get a much better result, too. They won't be super defensive because they weren't called out in front of a dozen people.
