The comments by readers that appear below the posted column certainly say what many of his readers think of the writer. I read the readers' comments and didn't see a single positive comment out of the 25 or so responses. It seems like the writer is deliberately trying to antagonize his readers and that doesn't seem like a logical approach that a writer should take.
