He's completely right. The behavior of this Uncle Bob person on social media (or anywhere outside of the linked videos) has absolutely nothing to do with the linked videos. Please stop derailing these discussions by trying to insert drama where there is none.

Yeah, thinking that Uncle Bob’s extracurricular activities are off topic doesn’t excuse flaming your own fans about it. That will always make things worse, and lead a lot of people to reasonably believe that the real problem is that he agrees with Uncle Bob on these things. Especially when Kovarex ignored complaints about Uncle Bob’s programming advice to focus in on the culture war instead.
Not even close to what happened. Some dramaqueens came by and started whining about unrelated points about someone he referenced in his article. Understandably, he is annoyed that these people are now personally attacking both this person and Kovarex himself. American cancel culture is incredibly toxic.
