Deep in the comments of a recent rehash of an old discussion, I had an epiphany that some of the people I was trying to talk to might never have witnessed or considered the sorts of consequences I was concerned about for others and had experienced myself.

Posting this, and following those leads, means I can never again know if an accusation is new or based on the same thing as this round of rumors or even just based on someone having read this post. I can live with that, if it means doing something good with this information.
