I wonder if it might just have to do with the fact that the people most inclined to comment on an article are the people that disagree with the premise most strongly. That goes with /any/ subject, not just this one. People that agree usually just hit "like" or move on. So if you're only paying attention to the direct comments, you're going to get a skewed view of things.

I neither agree or disagree with his premise, but I don't know that you can take the responses to his articles to represent some "trend", because you're basically filtering for a certain thing (disagreement) when you write on controversial subjects and just read the comments.

I guess I just read that article as: "I presented a strong opinion to the entire world AND PEOPLE DARED TO DISAGREE WITH ME?! WHO ARE THESE MONSTERS?!". Well I mean, you presented it to the entire world, what did you expect, 100% agreement? It doesn't necessarily mean anything though.
