It is actually a difficult thing.
If all is handled offline, then there is a possiblilty that a person might have accusations made against them and no way to defend him(her)self.
On the other hand, if someone is bothered and doesn't want to publicly "tattle" offline might be better.
And on another hand, if everything is public it can be disruptive.
Yet another hand - well, I'm out of hands....
I think what I find bothersome is public insinuations without details. This gives the other members of the board no chance to decide for themselves if there is any basis in them.
