Some came here to Las Vegas for the conversion. All conversions have been accepted. All training has been accepted. The facts in this case are not as many people have represented. Reform Judaism has never claimed to be a Halachic version of Judaism.
Reform upholds the ideal of some sort of personal autonomy based on informed choice.
This is one of the hallmarks, and some would say strengths, of Reform. When Reform is called on this, it should not be taken as an insult. Rather, he acknowledges the differences, and points out the logical consequences of a halachic movement vs a non-halachic movement. It has long be recognized that halachic Judaism, as the author calls it, has reasons for not accepting Reform conversions. Normally, this is not a problem, for each movement finds ways to cooperate when necessary.
