Three effective ways to anger people in meetings

TechRepublic.com: "We've all found ourselves in meetings where things rapidly drift off track. Conversations drift off track. Ideas are conflated, strange concepts breed in the conversational undergrowth, and an enraged leader eventually tears off his shoe and pounds on the table. Eventually a dead horse comes wandering in so everyone can engage in some ritual flagellation."

Anger people? I can see that, however if you have a lot to cover in a short amount of time, then it's good to cut people off or point out unnecessary facts and continue on topic...

Sure, people won't like it, but they'll get the point eventually and won't do it again at future meetings.
