I haven't read the article -- it won't load for me for some bizarre reason -- but this is, of course, a problem when Great Thinkers let their personal vendettas interfere with their actual message. The obvious example being Bradbury who felt that the best way to disseminate knowledge to the masses was to... not license his IP as ebooks because the internet was a fad and kids needed to get off his damn lawn. Or something.
'Course, they're ebooks NOW, so he smelled the money, I'm guessing. But, yeah, it's danged annoying when Great Thinkers decide that their message is somewhat less important than their hurt feelings.
