Not at all. I don't think he lost his mind, he just got over heated and went off on a tangent. I don't see my pointing out that the author of the article is a confirmed sufferer of manic depression as an "attack" either, just pointing out that works from such people perhaps should not be used in this manner. In my opinion it casts doubts on their opinions.

A perfect parallel is the thread I started over in "chat" concerning the works of Dr. John Forbes Nash Jr. I have great admiration for the man and his mathematic works BUT I have serious doubt whether the formula expressions developed by him should have been used so widely in the world economic system. He is most assuredly a severe sufferer of paranoid schizophrenia that somehow was able to learn control of his mental disorder.

A clarification of truthful content about the author of any work is not an "attack" on the author or the person using the questionable work as a premise for a post. It only casts doubt as to whether the work or the post should be viewed as "Holy Grail" for any purpose.
