I guess it might depend on when they knew all of this and whether or not they still believed that the best shot for Q was to leave it alone and maybe Frank would pull it out. I really don't know except that all of this current info about him doesn't lower my opinion of him. That was zippo a long time ago. It does seem a bit much to find out that there were gay folks privy to this and only now feel comfortable posting about it but everyone has their own reasons for what they choose to do and I guess that's on them.
Florist - If I could have come forward earlier I would have. If you have ever worked in the biz - you know that you have to be loyal. Well I and many have now come forward because we were screwed by Frank and Co. Most of this stuff however came out in the last few weeks while Q was operational. It all happened so fast. I had a feeling earlier on...but no facts. It is so upsetting that you and many of the others lost so much money. I can only imagine.
Good question, but with the attitudes that they are getting from folks, do you think they would have been believed? Look at what happened to lobo and others who brought the truth to the boards. He was called a basher; he was attacked and still is to this day (although some have come to see that he was only telling the truth).
The lemmings are still marching now. I don't think it would have changed too much if the ex employees would have come forward sooner. Just my opinion.
