It's easy to get flamed for doing an honest, well conceived review, @Aegis, by people who have been hyped for months on advance publicity. I remember that first review, and it seemed dead on target to me.
My own TOEE review here was attacked by a small (about 10) people who populated one private forum and deliberated targeted sites that didn't drool over the game. I liked about half of it (especially the rules engine, combat and graphics) but thought the quests, plot, and bugs were awful, so we received their ire. They just need to weather it, and keep in mind that they're shouts are loud but hysterical. In time, they die away, and the review remains.
At least TOEE got severely knocked about by other sites and magazines. I don't think the editors who play for 5 hours and rave about depth could even overlook the bugs in that one.
