I don't care if it's public or private. That honestly doesn't mean much to me as to whether it's right or wrong. I could privately say someone is a stupid ass nigger, and just because it's private doesn't mean it isn't harassment.
In the same way that using an opportunity to mouth off to someone and just because it's thinly veiled as an example doesn't mean it isn't harassment?
The facts are what I stated: no public accusations - if there is, point it out. If there's harassment in the private statements go ahead and quote the relevant sentences in its context.
