From the article: > if you take it upon yourself to publicly rip on one poor indie developer, then you are a malicious, pathetic troll who needs to take a hard look at yourself while trying to choke back the vomit. There's no lower scum of the earth than someone who would step on another person when they're down. You have this in writing, and you can quote it back at any villain who ignores my disclaimer. What does it mean to 'publicly rip' on someone? Who knows. It's not objective, and yet we already have a call to vilify these people as the lowest scum on the earth. I don't like comments like this because they divide us and encourage us to start purposefully creating single-issue litmus tests where if you fail---you're evil. That's not good for a community such as our own, where criticism, technical inquiry, and practical business acumen is valued. It is certainly right to censure those who go too far in their criticism, but only to the point of calling them rude, improper, and distracting from conversation. They are not heinous villains, they are impolite.
