With the exception of one or two sentences, it sounded pretty neutral to me... maybe I just didn't read it closely enough? The "dogmatism" of the technical criticism (assuming the post is accurate) really does seem justified to me—e.g. if the book uses dynamic scoping without even a disclaimer like "this is a bad idea, but we're doing it for simplicity", that alone makes it a bad recommendation for beginners IMO.
