I just happened to see it on that blog, and wanted to quote its phrasing (which doesn't appear on the video's own page as far as I can see). Sometimes a sentence adds a lot.

He's obviously new here, so why not cut him a break.

luckylemon, it's true that there's a guideline regarding blog posts that link to other material. You can see of the guidelines by following the link at the bottom of the page [1]. Thanks for contributing something you feel is interesting.
