I doubt they think they will set Maher straight; he might publicly apologize or, just as likely, publicly double down. We are the letter's addressee more so than Maher. (lol looks like the strategy backfired in some cases. See post #18 above.)
I can’t imagine why he would apologize. He made some jokes about comic books and their readers. Not exactly a sacred area.
