MODERATORS
If you've lived in a small town than you know that word of this was in many households that stayed silent.
That's just how small rural towns in America work on issues of abuse.
If you believe this was a completely contained secret, then I have a bridge to sell you.
But yes, many people who are completely innocent will be impacted. What's your alternative solution?
And motivated to make changes for the better, as opposed to ignoring the problems.
"I don't do politics"
That may be, but politics does you - whether you let it or not.
I've lived in a village of 600 people for about 6 years and I don't know anyone here, and don't want to.
How do you get food, or electricity, or water? If you're willing to deal with the humans for that stuff, then you need to deal with their society.
