I'll point out a few things here:

Now, I admit that I'm rather quick to make assumptions about people myself, and that I don't actually know anything concrete about you.
Well that right there pretty much nullifies most of what's been said here.
What was posted was posted because it was beginning to bother me just how many people took that article so seriously. I felt that I needed to post an official rebuttal/explanation on my behalf so that the effort was at least made to state my own case.
If that's hypocritical (which, in my experience, seems to be more of a cop-out argument for why you don't like something that was written, more than anything), then I guess you're just one of many who have somehow decided that I'm a hypocrite. To me, it just looks like you more or less completely missed the point of posting that.
