If your intent was to correct her statement to her, then doing it privately would be kinder. You yourself have stated how reiterating previous admin actions when giving someone a block would be more "shaming", and you didn't want to do that.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable posting under the conditions of what I "should know." But I suppose you mean if you've previously told someone something, then they "should know". Is that what you mean?
