What is the EPN all about?

I believe that EPNs are misguided, and while they claim that they are
following the path of Neo, my machine faction keeps on getting reports
of forced awakening by EPN operatives.  EPNs wish to free
humanity, however, they are short sighted in their goals.  They
fail to realize that a balance between humanity and machine must be
kept.  In short, humanity and machines need to work
together.  The machines have tried to work with humanity, but with
turmoil and fighting within The Matrix makes it hard for them to do
so.  Neo preached Unity and peace, EPNs and The_Kid preach the
opposite.
