I think it is the natural man in all of us coming out,  if we have to keep defending our name and honour for months.  They are continuesly looking for  something to attack him on.  If it was spread to all authors it wont be a problem but they have a personal vendetta with a few which they would like to sink.  As soon as they sink one that will not be enough they will find a new one.  They are driving more people away than helping the platform to grow.
