It took me nearly twenty years, and others longer. Still others never come out. Nothing predicts the length of time it takes for victims to step forward, especially if we're talking about cases in which victims were legal adults but still unable to technically give consent within a glaring power differential.

However, that's not the situation at hand. McKenzee is clearly more brave sooner in her life than many of us, but that still may not be enough to influence others. I'd love to be wrong.

i understand. but the world has changed a lot in the last 6-7 years when it comes to people coming forward. especially in drum corps circles.

I want you to be right here. But I know my fellow alum, their cruelty, and their stubbornness... this keeps so many of us quieter than we'd otherwise be. Of the 12 or so others I've spoken to, only a rare few have blown the whistle and only one has said anything publicly. The backlash was rough.

I'm not saying SOA, Cadets or other corps don't have similar alum, but that our alum have a unique mix that has thus far concretized the veil of silence.

They certainly weren’t interested in the conversation 11 years ago when we were squawking about Morgan Larson.

Or for that matter 25 years ago (!) when She Who Must Never Be Named was spouting accusations on RAMD.  Trying to separate the messenger from the message makes me wonder if there was a factual basis for her statements.

There were lots & lots & lots & lots of words posted.  And while some may have read them all, EVERYBODY didn’t.  I fell into the latter category.

She’s still dragging people.  I sent her a friend request on Facebook thinking it’s better to make peace with people in this crazy world and she started in on me again. She’s still ranting about stuff from over twenty years ago. Many of the people verbally assaulted on the interNUT are dead. I think there is a lot of jealousy involved.
