The author so desperately tries to convince the reader that he doesn't personally dislike Paul Graham that it has the opposite effect. For those who don't have time to read the article, the author argues that Paul Graham is a salesman (not an intellectual), and the product he's selling is capitalism. The author thinks capitalism is evil, and as a proponent of capitalism, Paul Graham is also evil. The author's hatred is clearly born out of envy for those who are more traditionally successful. This doesn't necessarily mean his ideas are wrong, but it increases the likelihood that his views are one-sided. Skepticism is warranted.
