Matthews blog post at hand is to me in very bad taste. From time to time I see blog posts from DD's in bad taste, even specifically when relating to Debian or indivual developers. Whether someone can exercise good taste, obviously subjective matter, in writing blog posts is not a selection criterion for Planet Debian. And rightly so. Blogs are the perfect place to put content of a highly personal nature. It's clear to everyone that such posts are not endorsed by anyone but the author. I see no problem here to solve.
