"But it'd've just left us too open to criticism on too many levels. We're getting plenty anyway....)"

Actually Moth, i don't think we are.

Admittedly, HA are the wickedest organisation in the world, plenty of that, but actual specific criticism of anything we said, no. Nothing.

You know what trouble was taken to make it honest, fair and truthful. And even when that was done, another set of people set about it and found ways of making it even more so. That has all paid off it seems. The history of this issue is that any criticism generates a tangential row that the good has been ignored or the pudding has been over-egged, and so the point of the criticism is always lost.

This time, a mirror has been held in the hobby's face that doesn't distort. It can address the warts or it can close it's eyes but it can't blame the mirror.
