You talked about "When people speak out about an unacceptable remark
..." in response to my message suggesting that it was not helpful to
announce plonking. "speak out" could refer to many different things, but
I assumed you meant it to include announcing that you've plonked someone
as a result of the unacceptable remark; if not, your comment seems out
of place as a response to my message.
