The comments I've read have been really strongly worded either for or against the motif of this article. All in all I thought this essay was a nice albeit not too deep train of thought through kinds of thinking - not anything worth getting into fisticuffs over.

Yet some comments make me feel like they expect, with the threat of harsh criticism, uber-deep and profoundly insightful content from PG on a highly consistent basis. Maybe it's the phenomenon where wider audiences give rise to (or amplify) polarizing views.
