unserious word choices throughout article. "ragequit", "Zuckercorp".

better reporting would be investigating the veracity and legitimacy of both sides of the argument, rather than just reporting that there are two sides and throwing incensed language at it.

I didn't learn anything new in the article, no new insights, no changed minds.

This has been the house style of The Register since 1994.

Have you read El Reg before?

Well I read the article and, having known nothing about the subject at all, found it somewhat informative. Having a few words of silly sprinkled throughout for amusement was fine.

I don't read The Register often, it seems to concentrate more on IT industry news. But when they have run stories of interest they do seem to follow them up, so you get a reasonably researched picture over time and a couple of opinion pieces.
