I thought that comment lent a lot of insight into the mind of the author.

On one hand, he's trying to make a buck. On the other, he figures it's okay to take advantage of someone else in the same situation.

I wonder if he even understands the contradiction of ethics?

In his defense, he wrote this in response to a comment similar to yours:

"Actually, I am paying for TextMate, I guess I wanted to make a comment about trying to do things cheaply - bad joke. If one piece of software is worth buying it, it's TextMate!"

He also just deleted the part about resetting your clock from the post. Sounds like he was just trying to spice things up a little.
