condoned
Let it slide
Condoned is the past tense of condone, meaning to accept or allow behavior that is considered wrong or objectionable—often by failing to act against it: The school effectively condoned bullying by ignoring complaints.
To condone something stops short of endorsement; it suggests tolerance or tacit approval rather than active encouragement.
