Your reply is about as good as his comment.

Not when you consider the original blog post, which addressed the question of "Why not let the server be the data store?" Among the other "points"[1] jacquesc raised.

[1] anyone who wants to pretend to have a serious, rational discussion -- don't start it by calling the person a zealot. Bam! Insta-noncredibility.

To be fair, he said he was "railing like a zealot" -- a subtle but important difference. Calling someone a zealot is attacking them as a person, calling their behavior "zealot-like" is only attacking the behavior.
Ah, yes, one word changes characterizations like "railing" and "zealot" into… a slightly (slightly) subtler ad hominem. But still an ad hominem.
recuter, put down your weapons and surrender. you're surrounded!
Whoever's down voting me, see Jacques' line about editing his own comment to be less inflammatory. He admitted it. You're not achieving anything here.
