He writes this way because he wants to, not because he has to:
> "I also tend not to use a bunch of euphemisms nor do I believe in making concessions so that everyone feels nice and comfy even when we don’t agree. I’m very direct and to the point when it comes to technology and I tend to speak in firm absolutes. If this bothers you, then you won’t enjoy your visits here."
When an article gets posted on HN that is written in firm absolutes about bitches and hos and how white people are all like this or like that, then it understandably gets pushback.
This man is not a child. He is not a helpless product of his upbringing.
He's a grown-up who works in the same general industry we all do. I don't have to appreciate his rudeness and arrogance just because he overcame the odds to get to where he is.
