Let me start by saying this. From this outsider's perspective, I believe you to be a stand-up guy who I highly doubt has much to answer for in this whole mess. I also understand the difficulty in trying to carve out a path forward under such circumstances.
However, with all due respect, you seem to be missing the point. No one wants the show to be about the past. But there are most certainly people still with the company who were pretty significantly implicated in some of the goings on. It would also be foolish to assume we know even 1/10 of the truth in that regard. What's more these things are never about one person. They are about the culture and system they build and that does not go quietly into the night just because that person is removed.
So, while limiting what can be said due to legal issues is understandable and unavoidable, there need to be clear, specific discussions about what is being done to ensure such things do not happen again.
I get it. We are not privy to the details of what all of you have been through and are still going through. But we have all seen situations like this in the past, and I am sure you would agree, only a fool would accept the "can't talk about it, have to move forward" explanation and assume all has been handled.
Dealing with this is not about the past, it is 100% about the future.
All that said, it's your "show" to run now and I am sure there are many fans who are willing to get back on the bandwagon no questions asked. Such is the way of the world these days.
I just won't be one of them. I fully understand that will not cause anyone at the Dis to lose a second of sleep. But at the same time, I will also not lose a second wondering what exactly I am supporting.
