The fact that it's by ESR softens the blow. If he comes down on the side if your preferred language, you can be like "ESR's not as bad as i thought!", and if he come down on the other side, you can be like "oh well, it's only ESR!".

Anti-intellectualism + racist quackery! ESR really couldn't get worse.

who is "esr" and why do you accuse them of such things?
