I was certainly not comfortable with that either; however, Alex is his own man now, free to use whatever inflammatory adjectives he chooses. Not much we can do about it, but also not unusual for him to follow the news on a company he put so many years into. I also do wish that the original post had pointed at CryptoCat's blog post - aside from CryptoCat's context about problems and resolutions, people should also be aware of the separate report by Zooko's team.
