Shawn is the one who reads the emails based on recent comments. I think it's rare for others to read them but many do read the boards. I haven't gotten the impression he replies often. I certainly wouldn't reach out that way if I had a question say..to John or Kevin.
And I think it's lovely Claire brought it to the boards. I am not sure why people are being so tough on her. We have come to the reality in 2017 that sexual mistreatment of women is absolutely rampant and has been swept under the rug.
It's been a really great conversation. I appreciate reading all the different perspectives.
I agree that it has been a good conversation and I must say there have been a few topics lately that i feel there was a largely positive/constructive discussion on these boards that have seen get like instantaneously ugly on Facebook, etc. So I think that is definitely a good thing
Not sure if people are being that tough on Claire - for the most part I think it was people just offering up why they felt the structure of the show didn't lend itself to the broad discussion and require inviting extra people on just to briefly talk about one topic (among 10 things on the show), especially when they had already covered it in more depth on their regular weekly podcast.
As to the more recent posts I think it is just to the part where she is disappointed there hasn't been a response from the team - when we don't even know if they have seen anything that they could respond to - and that they need to acknowledge their error (when, again, the structure of the show is such that it might not be an error) - that she is "owed" something ... not the topic in general
