I recognize it took some courage to talk about this in the first place, and I don’t want to discount that. I am glad that you said something.
...but I also don’t want to lose track of this thread.
Edit: I got a request to boil this down, so I separated it to that thread.
And reading the room? I think there is, broadly speaking, a lot of fear of you. And I think part of why that is true, is because you cultivated that.
You have noticed that you made some errors which blinded you to the consequences of some of your actions, and I think that’s a good start? I hope you might be able to agree with me that this attitude of fear, is probably blinding you to the reporting of any further harms.
I recognize processing takes time, and there hasn’t been a lot of time yet. But also, I think somebody needed to say this to your face, and it might as well be me.
How do you want to help wind down this aura of fear, which I think is still blinding not just most of us, but also YOU, to a lot of the full reality of what happened?
(And it might well be, that you will help with this by saying almost nothing and going after no-one. But if so? I think it would help, if you briefly committed to that outright.)
