I don't know - looks more like a newbie expressing a strong opinion to me. I concede that it's a bit borderline, but it's no worse than some of the other opinions expressed in that thread.
However, I would agree that the thread as a whole is getting more than a little heated, and I've issued a cool-down request to remind everyone to try and keep things civil. If things really start to get out of hand, feel free to draw our attention to it again.
