> Why is this person relevant?

Not sure who you mean by "this person" but if you mean the author of the article, that would be dipping a toe into personal attack, which we really ask people to avoid here.

(Note the "evokes worse from others bit" in my comment below—I'm sure it's not what you intended but this is exactly how that works.)

(Also of course, persons don't need to be relevant for articles to be interesting, and it's the latter that we're shooting for.)

It wasn't meant as an attack, but I did want to draw the connection to the author's identity, which I felt explained a lot of the aspects of the article I found jarring. I'll try to reframe it!
