From an outsiders view - neither the greatest cheerleaders or the most vocal critics have much credibility - much like partisan politics. There will always be the outliers - but realize they are a minority. The vast majority lie squarely in the middle - - in this case ones who can admit the good, bad, and other of NJA.

I will say that the tone of the NJA threads certainly has changed from when I joined the forum back in 2008'ish.
