I can't speak for others, but I pointed out the emc
review as a sort of "devil's advocate" counterargument
to my underline point of the resource *not* being the
hotbed of arrogance and bitterness it was made out to
be by the poster of the original message. In other
words, the emc was the *worst* I found in terms of
what I personally felt was an unfair review, and I
agree, it *wasn't* all that bad. Thus, absorb isn't a
bad place. If the context wasn't as clear, I
apologize.
