I'm not doing it as a form of disagreement. (I don't expect MetaFilter readers to see this thread.) I'm just explaining where that part of the essay came from.
"It's surprisingly restrained" -- It is a long essay, so most people that would write childish comments might not bother to read it at all, still there a are few burried comments that are pretty inane.
