Well, maybe I'm too cynical, but to me it looked a lot more like a thinly 
disguised effort at reverse psychology -or perhaps trolling- than slander. 
The last line is quite telling:

>Again, has anybody out there even *heard* of Edward Reingold?

The person who posted that surely knows that Reingold has published several
books, and for that alone people are likely to have heard of him.

Either way, why would anybody post such a thing is beyond me.
