Unraveling the Voynich Codex

[ReneZ]

One more fundamental mistake, I'm sorry to say - to interpret critique as hostility.

Let alone it's not correct to contrapose internet community to academics, since for sure nowadays many academics enjoy internet no less than other people.

Anton, what you say is right, but criticism coming from fellow academics tends to be phrased in certain ways, and what has come from the internet Voynich community certainly includes a fair amount of hostility.

The paragraph quoted by Doranchak also clearly indicates what would be the fate of Koen's blog entry if its tone is a bit on the sharp side.
I suspect that this paragraph was added precisely for the purpose of being able to put a 'hostile amateur' stamp on such comments on the book, with the aim of disqualifying these from serious discussion.
