It instantly taints the rest of the post and is insulting to folks who use and enjoy a service you may not like on a personal level.

Probably keeps people from reading the rest of the post, which did back it up intelligently, albeit with strong language. I also don't necessarily have a problem with the Filter team. But someone promoting their work decided to play buzzword bingo in a way that insults user's intelligence. Pardon the tone of what you excerpted.
