undiplomatically
In tactless fashion
In a manner that is blunt, tactless, or lacking in diplomatic skill.
Someone who speaks undiplomatically says things directly without softening the message or considering how it might offend: She undiplomatically told him his proposal was a waste of everyone's time.
The word often implies a failure to exercise restraint when restraint would have been wiser.
