Emily,
From the very top, this thread has been about whether community members ought to abstain from making negative-sounding criticisms in public. At no point did anyone advocate telling outright lies. That's an absurd extrapolation. Nor did anyone advocate a "narrow view" that a show of solidarity in public should be the only form of support given.
For what it's worth, I disagree with Ben & Vincent. I think it would be healthier if kerfluffles did run their course in public view, rather than a closet.
Transparency is healthy.
