Maybe it's time to rip off the bandaid and expose the entire wound instead of plucking away at the edges of the bandage we have wound around it. I know that allowing former employees who signed non-disclosure agreements to now speak about their experience might have repercussions which we do not fully expect or understand, but I am not certain it can be any worse than what is currently occurring in our community - a slow and steady drip of toxicity that threatens to rip us apart. The information they possess will come out over time - of that I am certain - and so any attempt to keep things under wraps seems not only futile, but foolish.
