(sometimes at the very top of!) institutions, we must call out such
atrocious behavior. We call it out to say “we will not stand for
this.” Sometimes, colorful language is used to draw attention to this.
Sometimes, because people either are not fully aware of this in their
experience, wish to turn away from looking at evil, or because they are
part of those who "say nothing about bad men” (in the sense of John
Stuart Mill’s quote, while "good men...look on and do nothing") the very
nature of nasty, disingenuous people who mislead, lie, deceive, do not
recuse, demand unwarranted loyalty, refuse to play by the rules, “stack
the (court, Board)," slander… must be so vividly brought to light that
strong and colorful language IS required."</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Martin<br></div></div>
