David,
I'm well aware of Eric's contributions to the hobby. I've posted links to his articles hundreds of times. I have recommended that book in the past and I will continue doing that in the future. (In fact, I helped sell one book this weekend). Why? Because it's an excellent book and frankly every new reefkeeper should purchase it (personal opinion). Eric is a good writer and I wish I had that talent.
This is not about that though. Eric did some things that have upset some of us who may or may not own his book. There are facts that are from government documents that paint him badly. Some of us want some answers.
