For people who are not familiar with the whole blocksize debate which has been raging in the bitcoin community for around three months now, even leading to outright censorship by theymos, perhaps asked to do so by "someone", the author of the post is highly biased and the article is biased too.

It refers for example to an attack by Ghash, and then dismisses their explanation that it was an employee without providing much evidence and without pointing that his dismissal of their explanation was simply speculation. Moreover, it suggests that Ghash gained 50% of hashing power and nothing happened. In fact a lot happened, so much so that Ghash currently has around 2% of the hashing power.

It is hard to present an unbiased view when one is necessarily biased. But as an engineer, one would expect someone like Rusty to present a more complete view of the problems as both sides see them and the solutions as both sides present them. His failure to do so raises questions on his integrity pertinent to his responsibility to present to the community a software which can work and problems are not hidden under the carpet.

Specifically, the Lightning Network which wishes to change bitcoin from a payment system as stated by satoshi to some experimental, uncoded, and conceptually flawed settlement system needs to be openly presented with all its attack vectors laid out as a lot of money could be lost otherwise. I do not see how I can trust such code however when one is extremely biased and makes no attempt whatever to overcome it.

Good enough is not sufficient where money is concerned Rusty. And to suggest that Gavin, or even Satoshi himself, is myopic, seeing only the "user" ui point of view, is slightly idiotic and shows that you do not quite understand the debate or you wish to wilfully mislead.
