A certain amount of criticism, skepticism, and general badmouthing, about which reasonable people could disagree (or not), is to be expected on a forum like this. But the relentless, compulsive, wildly hyperbolic, and in some cases downright fallacious nature of the torrent of extreme and poisonous negativity that emanates from a few of the critics here--even extending to anybody who dares say anything the least bit positive about the TMO/TM/MMY--indicates that something other than rationality and objective evaluation is driving it all.
