Xah Lee is not exactly known for moderation. If you’re not familiar, browsing the site may be worth your while. It’s full of inflammatory and sometimes bizarre takes, but I’d be hard pressed to argue that it’s ill informed.

Not inclined to do this though, his site doesn't exactly seem easy to browse either. Maybe a reflection of his bizarre takes?

Do you have some examples of well-informed articles by him? I found one about "syntax vs semantics" that seems as inflammatory and ill-informed as TFA under discussion here. I'm not inclined to give this person much leniency...
