You may want to correct that.
Moreso, best to stick with terms that are acceptable to people of all cultures and backgrounds. The word 'fucking' may be a light-hearted slang to a 20 year old american, but it may just be offensive to someone older living in the UAE.

IMO people are lazy. If two factor auth is enabled by default, even if it irks them most non IT people would not take the pain to disable it. Same lies true the other way round.
I don't come across much unheard of articles on the internet as it is. Why so critical of this subsection of articles that you're going as far as telling them not to put their stuff online?
Read it like what it is - a blog article. Its not a technical paper or a journal submission that should be rejected on grounds of incorrect assumptions/conclusions, error in experimenting or something that's previously done.
It's just like any other IT guy's day. Go to work, do your job, fuck up a bit, say sorry, give others a hard time when they fuck up :P But seriously, no difference apart from the fact that I can see men at work are very cautious around me as far as cracking jokes is concerned. But I can't really blame them with all these sexual harassment out of nothing stories floating around everywhere now, can I?
