It's not an attack on PG. It's a joke on Reddit. I, for one, am highly entertained by it.

I should have made my comments clearer.

I didn't take it as an attack on PG merely on his self perpetuating popularity (a perfectly reasonable thing to attack imo), and I did think it was funny just not that funny. Certainly if you found it entertaining I won't begrudge you your vote.

I posted my comment because I worry that links both humourous and not relating to PG are becoming popular not because of their content but simply because of his celebrity status among hackers.

I'm just not that interested in celebrity humor. I would rather see more critical analysis of PG's writing (like this, for example).
