A, B, and C. A, because there are maybe three bug reports (some of
them already fixed) in there wrapped up in several paragraphs of
inflamatory rhetoric. B, because I know attempting to "discuss
issues" this with Stephen would get nowhere, and take a shitload of
time. And C, because many of the statements he made are false or just
plain confused.
As someone else pointed out already, if you can salvage some real
problems from that article, please write them up in an intelligable
manner.
