In general, telling people to "read the sequences" is moderately offensive, and should either be avoided or prefaced with both a surety that the intended audience has not in fact read the sequence and care to explain what parts of the sequences might help and why.
(Although sometimes people can get away with the offense in the exhortation the the subject has sacrificed credibility in the immediate context beyond the audience's threshold for wanting to protect that person's dignity. Or if you have a lot of status yourself, but that tends to only drag you up to 'neutral' reception.)
