This can be extrapolated to say "the community which uses a language should not have any bearings on your decision to use that language", which to me is crazy if only for pragmatic reasons -- a strong, welcoming community has tons

I agree; furthermore, I think the author skewed Franzen's take to be more cynical than it was: I imagine the side of David that advocated going the Kurt Cobain route speaking in the seductively reasonable voice of the devil in “The Sc
