Sounds like, "discuss personnel issues in private and only among impacted parties." Seems reasonable for 99% of cases. What's the recourse for the other 1%?

I decided look it up the words on Google because I haven't studied language. [1]

Based on the definition, the term "innuendo" seems to apply to the muted thread, as well as the term "equivocal."

This thread, on the other hand clears the uncertainty of the previous discussion, though obviously doesn't tell all sides.
