This was obviously written in a purposely inflammatory style. I'd like to see the context, which is unfortunately missing here, and on the blog.
For those unfamiliar with him, I suggest reading some of Richard Gabriel's other writing. He is known for "Worse is better" but that's the tip of the iceberg.
This isn't the piece of writing you should take away from him, especially out of context. You can probably find a lot of silly things other people have written on Usenet 20+ years ago.
