The problem with anonymous whistleblowing in a group this size is that many people who have done freelancing for MWP are going to feel the need to come forward and say that they weren't the people who talked. I know I feel that pressure. That will probably frustrate further the people who feel wronged and might lead to reprisal against those who stay silent since it's easy to assume they are one of the complainers.
Also, if I did have a problem (and I don't), now I would fear approaching them out of fear that I would be considered part of the group alluded to in this post.
This is a small industry. There are much better ways of bringing up these issues than the way Ben decided to. Treating each other as people might be a good start.
