That guy comes off as an asshole:

Read quite a bit of that one, didn’t see anything bad. It’s in Standard Internet Tone but pretty mild. Having to couch everything in the gentlest terms and preface any snark or impolite observation with a paragraph of disclaimers so people don’t mistake you for The Bad Guys is a the-last-decade thing, and doesn’t seem to exist much outside the Anglosphere, where Standard Internet Tone continues to rule.

Guy may be an asshole, but I read about half that page and didn’t see it.


Lots of people do and are. I try to not judge people on old blog posts about complex issues I don't really understand. Aside from that, I don't let people being assholes stop me from learning about trashcan and sidewalks.
