1.) Refuting arguments is not an attack. The article does not read like attack. It is civil and non inflammatory and non insulting.

2.) Those people vocally disagreed with his previous article, him following up defending amd explaining his stance is how discussion work.

3.) Why not?

4.) Why do you want him to be silent and that group to hAve monopoly on discourse?

I saw the Reddit thread and couldn't find any particularly 'fundamentalist' views in it, not to say that a fundamentalist belief in user freedom is wrong.

Author here. It's not just one thread. And not just Reddit.

I personally don't mind the perception that I fundamentally care about freedom of computer users to be in control. It's called a principle and without it, you'd never see any progress.

Thanks.
