A witch hunt is a definite possibility, but I haven't seen any evidence of it yet. I think we're seeing a lot of people who had to bottle up their experiences because the climate wasn't right for trying to bring them out in public. The climate has definitely shifted, so a lot of people who faced possible retaliation before can now safely air their grievances. This is a good thing. It will be overplayed when people start using it as an excuse to take down people they don't like or to make a quick buck. I don't think we're there yet, but if you have seen instances of that, please let me know.
