Ignore the trolls - it's not like they have any valid input, and it's clear that Zaratustra has never even looked at the article, let alone actually put effort into thinking up a valid opinion. Personally, I thought the article was great - all clerics having turn undead, to me, makes no sense at all, and they shouldn't have to give up a DEFININING CHARACTER OPTION THAT THEY GET VERY FEW OF (a feat) just to have a thematically fitting class feature.

I don't see that much of an issue in the average cleric being able to channel positive or negative energy--perhaps "turn/rebuke undead" should have its name changed to "channel positive/negative energy"; I agree that not all clerics should be adept at repelling and/or commanding undead. There are plenty of feats, however, as well as PrC class features that are fueled by turn attempts. Look at Complete Warrior and its divine feats: divine vigor, divine shield, etc. "Expend a turn attempt to do X". I've never really played much of an anti-undead cleric myself, so I usually rely on those turn attempts to do other things; I'd just rather not monkey around with such things at the base class level.
