I actually went to the link and read the guy's blog (sic) article:
Apparently he reprinted a blog article by some guy named Nicholas Carr (with attribution), got told to take it down by Carr (which he did, to his credit), but meanwhile Carr's blog-audience proceded to say all kinds of mean nasty uncalled for things about Mr. Barlas. This has offended Mr. Barlas' tender sensitivities.
Welcome to the Internet and the unplumbed depths of Computer-Mediated Communications, Mr. Barlas!
An open letter to Demir Barlas:
