The content of the article is obviously true. The existence of the article has potentially severe downsides for the site, and while we may wish this wasn’t so, reality is what it is. I would prefer if JoshElders voluntarily retracted it, but I’m in no position to ask that; this is a question for the moderators.
It is, on a meta level, interesting that the article’s current score is 0⁄0 despite the number of comments.
