It seems like they could have targeted the individual cases of abuse in a more reasonable way. I agree. It’s an awful situation that has been badly mishandled.

Not sure how to best deal with it, though. It had seemed like they did a good job of dealing with it in Utah and Arizona, after all, but all they did in the end was get the most ardent participants to ship themselves off to someplace with laxer oversight.
