I feel people who generalize others with a certain specialty negatively is a kind of disparaging remark that doesn't belong in civil dicussion, so let's not pretend this is one.

The original blog is spewing some pretty stereotypical bullshit you'd expect from some teenager seriously engaged in a which OS or text editor is better holy war.

That's an interesting position. Shouldn't we strive to have a civil discussion despite whatever incivility may have sparked it? Is any discussion irrevocably tainted?

I reserve the right to decide that for myself on a case-by-case basis.

And FWIW, I don't think lecturing someone else about their civility is a civil thing to do.
