Thanks to Frodo Took for giving me a heads up that there was another shout out to Arda Reconstructed at the Nerd of the Rings podcast at 1:06:52 --> 1:07:52.

I found what I think may be my very favorite comment about Arda Reconstructed, in an otherwise fairly positive Goodreads review.
LOL!The author of “Arda Reconstructed” is not shy about expressing his opinions concerning many of Christopher’s editorial decisions. I agreed with quite a few of his views. However, some of his opinions became grating. In particular, his constant harping about the revisions or deletions of various female characters makes him come across as a whining male feminist.

Well. That was certainly a point of view.
Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

An accurate one, so far as it goes. I am an undoubtedly male, and proudly a feminist. And I'm pretty sure that long-time Halofirians would probably be happy to confirm that I have been known to whine.
