The comment is far less calm than you would have us believe. I think it just resonated with your own frustrations. That doesn't make it good in any way.

I see it as a call for people to be able to discuss things calmly and rationally. Certain facts within the statement e.g. "get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory" are definitely emotionally provocative (as are terms such as "everything" and "nothing"), but indeed that happens sometimes, i.e. everything is relative.
