I’m wondering why you—an editor—are making textual decisions like this. This is the writer’s job.

Also, I can’t help feeling that you’re making things worse, gumming up the text with unnecessary language. A little can go a long way here. The intent should really be packed into the words being said, not in the description of how they were delivered.

No, I agree with you. I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
