I agree with all of the above (in principle); those were some of my first
thoughts as well. But like I said before, "All of these [gripes of his] are
tangible concerns which are likely to resurface again and again among the
general Internet community." By "tangible" I mean that they are capable of
being perceived, identified, or realized by the mind. Even if I disagree
with his views, I must acknowledge mentally that they are probably somewhat
common. And that makes it a "real" issue to deal with going forward. (Not
a big one, mind you, but one to keep in mind.)
From my point of view, it's good that he vented like this rather than having
kept his gripes to himself. True, something more civil would have more
constructive, but I do enjoy a good rant/vent from someone once in a while,
as it represents a much more candid peek into their mind and more realistic
look at the (pick one: irrational, illogical, uneducated, unwashed, or
simply different) way that people sometimes view things.
