I have had miserable experiences with the 'put up or shut up' approach to 'guilty until proven innocent' situations. As one example, I and an organisation I worked with were accused of theft. The next day I reported that the slanderers had some knowledge of a crime, and dug up a statute to the effect that it was a {??} to know of such a crime and not report it. The police did not want to know. The detectives were so upset about the idea of me reporting myself as a suspect in a crime that they pushed me away real fast. What should I have done? Has anybody else worked through similar situations. Being accused of theft or disloyalty is an occupational hazard for me: I often assume conflicts of interest in my work. x@prep.ai.mit.edu (Dean Elsner) Disclaimer: I am not me. Much.
