Well though there were for sure "fighting words" in this comment.

And with anyone who is admired such as PG you would typically try to be very careful (almost diplomatic) in how and what you said.

Statement was:

"He should just stick to essays about startups and lisp instead of pontificating on something he clearly has very little understanding of."

or, suggested re-write (for someone who feels this way):

"PG's essays about startups and lisp are great|good|wonderful however in my opinion, and based on my particular experience, I can't tell that he has any particular expertise in Philosophy".
