Yes. I also find the article's prose difficult, but I really am not the target audience. I appreciate your consideration and thoughtfulness. You're not far off in your assessment. I was trying to bridge a gap between the top-level comment and the negative reaction to it by using my own perspective as an example of why the presentation might be difficult for some people. I also don't appreciate the tone of the original criticism, but I did share the same disconnect with the content due to the presentation. Personally, I feel that people should be able to express themselves however works for them. The article's prose isn't for me, but it really doesn't have to be. On the other hand, I do also feel that there's nothing wrong with others sharing their critiques of written works. I don't like the common sentiment of negative reactions to any and all criticism of anything. We are not our creations, and a criticism of a written work shouldn't be treated as hostile. Again, the mocking tone of the original criticism was distasteful, but not enough so to disregard it entirely (unlike another "crackhead" comment that crosses the line).
