You're ordering everyone in the thread to stop saying the article is wrong. How can you not expect downvotes?
Setting that aside, though, the author is not just expressing his opinion. This piece isn't saying, "Well, personally, I don't like syntax highlighting." The OP is arguing for a general truth, not just a personal preference of the author. The piece makes objective claims about the effects syntax highlighting has on its users. Why shouldn't people feel entitled to say the argument is flawed if they see flaws in the argument?
- bpchaps 10y agoI don't really think a sentence as flippant as that one can be considered "ordering"... and it if does, then I order you to stand up for your opinion with words, rather than downvotes. Really, I just think the guy's just very opinionated and is expressing something that's very important to him. Principle of charity and all that.
