I tend to associate "poorly edited" with "on a passionate rant" and "edited" with "slow and thoughtful".

It might not be fair, but I do like to know the mindset the article is written from.

For me the overly agressive tone was detrimental while reading the article. I kept thinking: "Is this really necessary?" It reminds me of the rethoric that we've seen in politics in the last four years.

Your reaction reminds me of what Aamer Rahman describes at 2 minute mark in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKICKcMU3MU

Just a reminder. Intel bribed, intimidated and blackmailed hardware manufacturers to alienate AMD while AMD was offering better product. Intel was fined record 1 Billion Euro. Intel hasnt paid a single cent of that fine to this day.

Funny video. However, the point stands: Just because some is insulting others it seems unwise to do the same.

Doesn't matter how good somebody's points are when they metaphorically walk up to you half-dressed and screaming.
