I was asked by the city to come to a closed door personnel session.

If this is going to be a Scotty bashing, then we need to go into a closed session because that is personnel.

I don't want personnel bashed in open session.

Just because a meeting is held in closed session doesn't render it confidential. You can hold a meeting in closed session but you can't make people not talk.

Mike made an accusation in closed session, and Dr. Thompson replied,

Nothing sickens me more than the closed door of a library.
