I’m glad that you and everyone else has come forward. There are still people who are frightened that they will “lose their spot” if they complain too loudly. Women, minorities, LGBT folks, just to name some. We like to believe that our community is better than the bulk of society, but for it to be so, we have to expose practices that are unacceptable.

The community as a whole has to protect one another from unacceptable behavior and harassment. I hope that others who feel they have had to stay silent become emboldened to tell their own stories. The only way to make things change is to stop pretending that things are perfect when they aren’t.

Courage and nerve to all.
