It is worth reading some of @sigmajin's other work too. While I know he still stands by what he wrote about in that post, I also know he has recognized some bad activities as well in more recent posts.

I recognized the bad activities when i wrote the post. Its the nature of the beast. I just don't think a certain level of inevitable misuse is a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Yep, I just try to sway some of those doing "bad activities" if I can. I know that is mostly a losing game, but it has influenced some people. Some of the same people still do the same things, but others stopped doing it completely. (and it may not have had anything to do with me)
