However the author takes great pains to empart these views in the most crude and offensive manner possible. All the while, sick, twisted and bizzare thought excercises are employed to illistrate their arguments (or lack thereof). And interspersed throughout the commentry are reoccuring self-serving claims of unbiased objectivity.
I don't think it was worth reading. But anyone interested should read the 11 points at the end. You'll get an idea of what the article says, and miss most of the trolling.
