Its not a personal attack its barely far from a direct quote. The fact that you read it as a personal attack means you either a.) didn't read the article or b.) so strongly identify with that side that you defensively view criticism of it as personal.

You're going to have to show me where he describes himself as a "[person] who wants [his] well-paved sprawl and quarter acre castle subsidized and protected by everyone else."
I dunno what to tell you man, try reading the article again? Most of that stuff is in point #4.

If it's "almost a direct quote," surely you can show me the passage it paraphrases? Otherwise I might be tempted to think it's a glib gloss on his ideas that's gratuitously insulting.
