What's the purpose of your comment? Are you concerned people might browse xahlee's pages and find some useful information there?

Political correctness is a bitch.

Or the other way. I didn't follow the link because I know it's to a known troller's site and therefore my default assumption is it's wrong or at least highly distorted.

When the g'parent poster commented that 1) it's a known troll but 2) the information is correct anyway, I decided to look further into the topic.
