From what I can tell, he shared his controversial opinion in a forum specifically for controversial opinions, that is not a lack of tact.

I don't know if this is true, but after reading "journalists" summarize the memo random internet comments from purported googlers seem about as reliable.

Which is partly why this guy was so pissy about the echo chambers rules: They're always in his face.

The only reason it spread was because people were shocked by his lack of tact.
