This is a pretty incendiary and bitterness-laden rant. I enjoyed the trip back in time but the last paragraph, for me, pretty much nullified any actual points the author was trying to make.
However, if that person is ranting and raving and calling people who disagree with him "autistic", it's impossible not to suspect that the guy has the 'thumb on the scale' even in the portion of the discussion that's apparently neutral. As someone pointed out in his comment section, he was just plain making stuff up about Jobs killing Hypercard (despite his attempts to back-and-fill on the issue).
We may not want to read the author esposuing them any further, who needs toxic sewage? But the sewage cannot nullify a point that we recognize as true. Its truth is independent of whether the author is a goofd or bad person. Its truth is independent of whether the author argues it well or poorly.
It's unfortunate when good points get covered in toxic emotions. I wouldn't say that we should read such things whether we like it or not, but having read them, I say we take the good points and repackage them in less vitriolic prose.
