You complained they never got a "trial." The person you're responding to was quite correctly pointing out that was completely their choice, a disciplinary hearing would allow all sides to present information, but she effectively plead guilty instead (i.e. take the ultimate sanction).

That isn't necessarily true. Even being accused of things can cause significant damage. Also, a huge grant organization had already pulled their funding.

So you're arguing for not accusing people of things?
