I wouldn't worry about it, GL himself has stated he is not an avid reader.


I think it shows given that if he'd read the online comments about the travesties he's foisted on us recently he might have a different attitude.


I'm almost certain he cannot for legal reasons - same reason he cannot read fan mail directly: if one of the fans suggests an idea and he uses it on a film, by coincidence, the fan could sue him.
