Ergo, it should probably be addressed in an equally public way (relatively speaking, since the general public probably didn't view the videos).

I object to spreading this beyond the scope of those who didn't know or were in no position to know what happened, and in that way, deliberately preventing containment. Public humiliation and castigation is the end goal; not any sort of resolution or wise correction. I mainly dislike the euphoria that some people seem to get from someone messing up or acting foolish. That's as disturbing as the name calling.

I'm not so disturbed by church people being aware that something went awry at a conference, but I don't really get the need to spill it outside the walls. I'm sure it will be addressed, especially if there's a lot of negative feedback.

Being swept away is the same as dealing with it in-house too. Ask the accuser in the Buck Treadway cover situation... wait. You can't. She died. So she wasn't vindicated because it was dealt with in-house for a long, long time. I am not saying what JA did was anywhere near the BT situation, but there was a coverup and there was a fall out. The ones dealing with it in-house could end up looking like they are sweeping it away if it isn't dealt with properly (whatever that is)
