"Forceful" is not the word I would use to describe the piece. It's derogatory, and it is so because the natural development of a certain field does not fit the author's definition. It sounds more like "These damn kids!" than "You shouldn't be doing this". It's meant to offend: look at the title. It isn't meant to highlight an issue.

Thank you for sharing. I was hoping for it to be more introspective and informative.
