I've read a lot about Karaism. I actually think they make excellent points on some things -- such as waiting until the Abib (barley) ripens before celebrating Passover (because the Torah prescribes that Passover is in "the month of Abib"). And that, in general, much of Karaism is -- in theory -- more logical than rabbinic Judaism.

On the other hand, Karaites are hypocrites because they have their own Oral Law and interpretations (although they deny doing so), such as their ridiculous interpretation regarding fire on the Sabbath.

many a cold hearth on Friday evenings in the Karaite home I gather?
