That Idiot wrote something similar, but equally devoid of sense, a while ago (in some insignificant Philadelphia newspaper, which is also where this first appeared) and of course got a big response from knitters trying to point out to him that he really, seriously, big-time missed the point. He replied to all these responses very politely and respectfully... and then totally skewered them in print. ("LOL knitters fight back aw it's so pathetic!!1!") Of course a number of the responses were published on Ravelry so I can tell you they certainly were not "hysterical and barely literate", or at least not all, probably not most.

It would seem that he's pining for attention and has come back to poke some more. Tiresome. I'm just disappointed the Grauniad has bothered to pick this one up, thus feeding the troll with a whole new (and much bigger) juicy audience.
