I agree with you, and don't mind someone being blunt when they believe they're right and mainstream views are wrong, even when I disagree with the argument the person is making. It often seems to result in a strong reaction in the opposite direction, however. I was amused when I read Ted Dziuba's "Node.js is Cancer" rant, and was able to separate the technical arguments from the invective and evaluate them on their merit. A lot of people, though, seemed to respond angrily with indignant forum or blog posts. So I suppose there's always the danger that being too blunt will result in your real message being lost in the resulting firestorm.
