The last quote, which is the most extreme response, seems like it's not entirely within the same context as the article. I got that it was talking about _human_ online critics, and especially (only?) those who have an "uncivil tone", which is something I agree with.

Yeah, that's the key detail here.

The article went kinda off-topic on itself, by throwing in quotes about a completely unrelated incident, which on skimming may be read as referring to statcheck, despite having nothing whatsoever to do with it.
