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.
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.
LOL!

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. 😉
