No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Had he left out the unprofessional bits, this would have been a really boring story about IT stuff that I may have ignored. Instead, the post was somewhat humorous, which pulled me on through it and let me know how serious the guy was about what he was saying. As to your second point, the sheer fact that he was able to lay out a host of possible reasons why something that would seem obvious to an IT consumer might not be a good idea was enough to encourage me to pause before badmouthing IT again.
