If someone points out a subtle-ism it seems like it would be fine to ask for clarification and/or additional concrete examples.
They do try to address this issue by making the "social rules are lightweight" and tell students "feel free to talk to faculty."
> those who engage most with those around them, will likely break the most "Subtle-isms".
If the social rules are light then it is more important the student is learning to reduce their use of subtle-ism more then it is that it happens every once in a while.

It's fine especially when the accusation is absolute and utter bullshit. If you think your accusation has merit, see me in court.

- wmj 12y agoThere's nothing the least bit lightweight about shaming and defaming someone of illegal behavior, while denying them the right to defend themselves.
- davorak 12y agoI would bet $100 to $10 that the article is not trying to describe any form of illegal behavior with the term subtle-ism.
- wmj 12y agoIt most certainly is. Shaming and defaming someone of a crime that they didn't commit, and mobbing them out of their right to defend themselves publicly (the school's policy amounts to collusion with the shamer/defamer) is most certainly illegal.
