I am not going to be scolded into changing my opinion about an internet article. But I see that you like the article and the author. Cheers. Thanks.

Your comment wasn't an "opinion based on facts" but a needless rant which distracted from the purpose of the post.

is the purpose of the post = agreeing with you?

No, purpose of the post is to read the article and discuss the merits/demerits of its contents.
