Yeah, I understand and empathize with your viewpoint. I wrote the article and felt like the detractor captured some of the weaknesses I possess that led to its writing.
I'd call it less "weaknesses" and more "normalcy." It's extremely intimidating to deal with certain aspects of the open-source community. Not because you're dumb or stupid or lazy, but because they're kinda, y'know. Crazy.
(Note that in some cases it's a very beneficial form of crazy, and is not inherently bad, until it starts becoming an issue with other people.)
