Hi Siobhan! Thanks so much for sharing your concerns and giving us a chance to explain our work!
I’m embarrassed to say I failed to find a brief way to answer your questions, so you’ll have to forgive my lengthy staggered replies. I’ve posted them in separate comments to allow for discussion to proceed in different directions across separate threads.
Stream-of-consciousness meta commentary I jotted down before writing my actual replies:
Can I just say: Hell fuckin’ yeah, let’s fuckin’ go, I fuckin’ love EA. This is the noblest possible use of the EA Forum: Bluntly calling people on their shit in a way that is not just polite but also deeply compassionate and clearly in good faith. I’m just so glad that my life path took me into a community that works together with this particular cocktail of conflict and collaboration. I love you guys :’)
Hi Cameron, thank you for engaging in the spirit in which my post is intended. You could’ve just ghosted it and hoped nobody noticed. Really, I appreciate your time here.
I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation soon, but unfortunately I had a medical emergency and I’m still not feeling myself, so it might be another day or two until I have the headspace to reply to your comments. Thanks for your patience.

Of course, no pressure. I hope it’s nothing permanent, and get well soon.
