Steven, I agree with you. The message about web standards is important, but pages like the one linked to only serves to aggravate and insult.
Companies or individuals responsible for managing sites that are poorly constructed do not need to be treated in this manner. A more friendly, educational approach without the condescending tone and insulting language would work a lot better. You catch more bees with honey and all that jazz.
