Any part you are referring to? I can't find any personal attack.

I actually like his writing style. I think he just speaks his mind in full honesty and you should not interpret it as aggressivity.

Took two minutes of reading his Twitter to find him comparing black people to chimpanzees.

> I can't find any personal attack.

Your parent comment gave a paraphrased example of discrimination against a group, not a person.

> you should not interpret it as aggressivity

Your parent comment didn’t describe it as aggressive, they described it as dehumanising. There is a colossal difference between the two. Patton Oswalt demonstrates:

Note: I don’t have a Twitter account nor have I ever encountered Dimitry’s writing, so I’m not commenting either way, but if you want to refute/contradict/disagree what your parent comment said, it’s important to respond to the point they made, not different ones.

Thx, indeed I was only referring to the article. Not doing a full background check. The GP was not providing any detail.

I had a stroll though his Twitter. It's just a grab bag of strawmen being summarily beaten mostly by the fact that no one is replying to challenge him.

He tried to start a shit-flinging contest with me in an HN comment thread once. Accused Zephyr RTOS of being "bloat" or something.

As a fellow embedded dev, I smile every time one of his projects shows up on HN. He's really talented. But c'mon, dude.
