They probably forgot they were following him.  Notice any changes since 4/5?  

I have not noticed any changes. For now, it's like a frozen time capsule. I wonder if GH will ever post again.

One quote from the new article that I have not seen anyone mention yet, that I found of some relief:

This week, before the old forum posts surfaced, Acheson said that review was nearly complete and had not uncovered anything that would call for a deeper investigation.

??? Hang on... if Acheson [who is now accused of knowing of GH's past] said the "review was nearly complete," it could be that he did not dig deep enough, or cast a wide-enough net on purpose -to avoid revealing what Phily.com just exposed... an allegation that he knew something!  In addition, DCI [Acheson] made no immediate statement calling for the Yea! board to resign and did not openly object to SK being installed as interim director until the reporter in Phily dug deep.

Are we expected to believe that not one single person has ever notified DCI about these specific RAMD pages, that have been up for 15 years?  Not one person said, "Hey, there is something you might want to read."  Was the RAMD forum so tightly guarded or closed that no news of it ever leaked out to anyone connected with DCI?

There is no "bottom" to something like this... you can never rule out another person coming forward, but "Well, has anyone got anything else to confess... no?  Good... looks like we're all done here" is not digging deep enough.  Why is it that these people in Phily have been consistently one step ahead of DCI?

Further, if the rumors of GH were so widespread or so numerous --as people seem to be saying now-- it seems to point to one of two things... either DCI was very out of touch with the "totality" of GH's persona (and that seems odd, considering how frequently GH had contact with all sorts of officials from DCI) and was being kept in the dark by all these people who new something but said nothing, or [2] they did know something on some level and did not have the guts to stand up to GH or do some investigating to confirm or deny their suspicions.

If 1 is true, it shows incompetence; if 2, then it shows negligence.  The fact that DCI is now putting into place self-described fail-safe policies, is --again-- only a reaction to the work that someone completely unconnected with drum corps [the reporter] has managed to find out ahead of the expert organization that has overseen it for well over 40 years!

Why do more than 15,000 friends still follow GH's Facebook page?  Why did GH stop regularly posting on April 3?  Why did he move out of his former apartment to new digs at the end of March?  Why are his new digs just one block away from the YEA offices?

Why am I visiting GH's Facebook page daily since Thursday, April 5?

 

Watching to see the ship sink?

Because they actually want to get to the bottom of it rather than just hoping it goes away?

Should victims not have the right to privacy in deciding themselves not to report somerhing that happened to them?  Should they be forced into the limelight any time someone else hears a rumor and decides to broadcast it on RAMD?  Does DCI have to spend 25 hours a day combing the internet for anything that might be construed as a suggestion that someone somewhere was harassed?  Do they have to chase down victims who chose not to come forward every time someone with an ax to grind wants to hurt a person or organization without any regard for the victim?

I didn’t see any victims named on RAMD.

Given Stu's unhinged nature, especially historically directed at DCI and YEA, why would they have listened? "Sure stu. Send the victim our way. Thanks for the call."

What was his beef with YEA?  That Cadets beat Blue Devils in '83?
