So? Who cares. Just because he is a thinking and breathing human being with a pulse and a different view than you. How many times have you made the front page of a prolific website? That’s like me telling the world — you, based off one comment sampling that you are stuck up and one dimensional …. Which we both know isn’t true, right? Benefit of the doubt.

"Different view" is a nice way of putting it. He's literally an alt-right troll.

And how does that change anything else he says?

It doesn't. Thats also not how "literally" works either. Your commentary surely tells the reader to use caution, but not how you think it does.

He's not untouchable just because he's writes a good technical article. He should be called out for spewing hateful bigotry on his Twitter.

Maybe for you. But not for me or others. Careful where you stick your nose.

Tabloid papers have been on the front page here. I wouldn’t it hold it in such high honors.

Who said anything about honor. Its attention which gets things changed or noticed or something otherwise. These one-dimensional, judgey comments are forgettable.

And yet you are on round two of responses to it.
