I don't try to hide that I am 'Potentially Influencing a players mood by description or atmosphere' I just come right out and say "I want to effect the mood of the game" I am no longer interested in beating around the bush... just like I don't describe every elf... I use the short hand elf... SOmetimes I completely use out of game terms and let the player do it all in his imagination... example: way back in 2e if the PC ran across a drow NPC who was powerful fighter and wizard with a modified bladesinger kit I would in detail describe him and let them draw his own conclusion... today I would just come right out and say "This one here is my new NPC he's really cool I made him a swordmage like drow with some bells and whistles, you all can tell more or less he has X Y and Z..."  the problem is you keep saying this without listening to the fact that no one disagrees with this, they disagree on where the line falls, not that the line exsists... people on my side just don't thin we are doing any different then you in execution...</blockquote>
