Talking over someone with the word "untrue" after every sentence and then
not informing us of the 'truth' when they get their turn to speak doesnt

Putting words in someone's mouth also doesnt help.

Making personal comments doesnt help.

people with abit more respect in meetings would help.

Otherwise it doesn't reflect what the discussion was all about.
