"No really, we promise," says the Commission. "There are examples of the Culture of Intimidation. We just won't make that information public. Except for that one example, the XXX XXXX incident. That one was very public. But no more! We've destroyed his reputation among our friends - how could we do that to anybody else? No, we'll keep our myriad examples of intimidation secret."
"In fact, we won't even tell the accused! Isn't that a lark. You, Dr. Roe, and you, administrator Doe - you have no idea whether you've been accused or not! Better yet, you can't give a defense for your actions (be the intimidation real or imagined), because you are ignorant of the accusation made against you. We ought to have thought of this tactic before," says the Commission, "and Erskine would have been brought under submission long ago."
Indeed.
