A brief perusal of his blog suggests he is a left-wing extremist - so it's no surprise his tactic was to attempt shaming. Shame is a powerful incentive for collectivists, and presumably in his own mind he feels it's an effective tool to use against people he disagrees with. After all, people will self censor to a large degree if they fear it. It's also telling that this was his response to reading something he disagreed with, as opposed to say - making an argument.
He's not the first left-wing extremist I've dealt with, nor will he be the last. His blog post was harmless (if anything it was beneficial, hope the site is SEO'd). It does drag down the tone of the conversation, but there's nothing much to be done about that.
