All I can do is repeat that however different they are, they aren't as different as this. You may not intend to dismiss the Montreal abuse, but in your eagerness to emphasize the sexual abuse, you write as if you are dismissing the other. Need to watch that.
Nor am I writing about how SFS handled or should have handled the Montreal abuse back in 2002. I'm fully aware things were different then. I'm talking about how they handle them now, or more precisely within the last few months. The Montreal abuse was a long time ago. The sexual abuse was also a long time ago (the most recent cited incident, 7 years; others a lot older). The only difference is, we only found out about the latter a couple days ago. That should not account for a difference in treatment.
Had SFS chosen to react to the new accusations with "This is sad: we'll look into it, but for now we're making no changes," it would make sense to ignore the other. But a summary complete dismissal without even mentioning it? That's selective fastidiousness, because if it were genuine outrage, at least some of that outrage would have spilled over to the other incidents.
When you amp the volume up to eleven, even pianissimo sounds ought to be heard clearly.
