you’re skipping AD checks, it might not be a good time to bring up behavior matters. In conclusion, keep calm,
avoid emotional reactions, document the issues, meetings, etc. and deal with the matter until you are satisfied. There might not be any winners, but you might help to improve things on both sides. No one wants unresolved personality issues floating around either in industry or the regulatory body. In my career I have seen few really difficult inspector situations, most of the issues I was involved with were quite normal – just people having a bad day, which happens.
