    Simple rephrase has helped me a lot in this area. From the CS side at least: I hope you have a nice day. That way I convey my intent without placing any requirements on the recipient.

    As someone who works in customer service. It is my experience that when the customer (the DA here) asks a question that does not get the answer they want they will reword the question and ask again.

    The trick is to tell them "no" in same way each time so they know that they aren't as clever as they think. Adding "Again" before answering the question the second or more times also helps.

    As much as I want this to build into something that causes sought after divestment. The cynic that I am expects that some bean counter is going to report that Genocide is more profitable.

    I also fully expect those employees that bravely stood up for this cause will find themselves laid-off in the coming weeks for completely unrelated reasons.
