I read through the whole massive thread on FMH. A lot of posters are upset with the mods for publicly calling her out. I’m not sure if I agree or disagree with that decision. (I never did donate any money, though, so it doesn’t affect me directly.)
I think they did the right thing, and Jerilyn also admitted her fault publicly. However, any group taking in monies like this needs to have better procedures to prevent this type of thing. There’s a naive idealism in many groups that “we’re all friends here” and “nobody would ever . . .” but the reality is that people are human.
