While I would take what Nash says with a grain of salt, the simple question (in my mind) is: "Has he brought to light actual cases of fraud and bogus material in the hobby?"
It seems like those with an valid axe to grind against Nash conveniently choose to ignore this simple question and the cases where he has done this. It seems like those with a pro-Nash stance seem to point to this as a proof of his positive influence while avoiding all his own nefarious dealings. There IS a middle ground here.
Nash's writing is a lot like the National Enquirer. A lot of hot air and misinformation... except for the times when they hit the nail on the head and cover something everyone else wants to ignore and sweep under the rug.
I would question the wisdom of anyone expecting results from sending a saint into the den of thieves.
