But I love my metaphors!!! Seriously though, well said. Thanks for interjecting and trying to act as a voice of reason. Cooler heads should definitely prevail, and have not thus far done so.

IMHO, it has to do with the nature of the initial blog post, particularly the portions addressed to specific editors by name. I may be a bit biased though, in that I am one of the editors so named.
