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.
