If the criticism was directed at the one article, then no problem, but she's going from there to a blanket condemnation of the entire encyclopedia and the people working hard on it. It's insulting to dedicated contributors to suggest that their content is worthless without an anointed editorial board to bless it, and it betrays massive ignorance and an unwillingness to learn. Given that, I'd recommend extra leeriness and doublechecking of all of
her
assertions - she sounds to me more like a faux expert trying to snow

with haughty attitude and big words. Beware!
The defensiveness and the personal attacks are guaranteed not to help anybody.
