I don't like saying "in the old days" much, and I wasn't able to read the article, but this seemed like something you'd rant to a friend or two over a beer instead of to the general public.

That doesn't mean brushing it off though. More of a vent to cool yourself off before taking the next action. At least that's what I've always done.

At least you can somewhat "un-say" things now a days if you control the content hosting.
