I agree 100% (which is why I went with a silly "wat" instead of challenging the statement directly). Every forum has a small group of people who tend to lack social graces (or what passes for them online) but aren't just random assholes and are correct most of the time. As long as these people don't stray too personal too often, their contributions remain a net positive, IMO. tptacek certainly fits into that, he just seemed like a funny choice to lead off with in that statement.
