I too read this and many other articles. The level of work for this writer, Ms. Massau, is not significantly higher than any others. Perhaps you just have a taste for flowery phrasing that is essentially meaninglessly redundant, or worse, pathetically cliche, (eg. "the fulfillment of life will leave you with no true regrets"). She has her fair share of grammatical errors such as sentence fragmentation, and exhibits several cases of bad writing style including noticeably repetitive word use. Though I don't like being critical, when you praise one person through insulting others and your reasoning is as feeble as yours was, you invite comment.

Not to mention, if you are going to criticize someone else's writing, make sure your own work is more free from fault first. I don't have time to fully pick apart your attempt at a 'dressing down', but it too is pretty vulnerable, both grammatically and rhetorically. For example, you misspelled the word 'shining'. Here's another example, in your first 2 sentences you simultaneously assume both that no one is monitoring comment posting and then that someone will approve your comment, a self-contradiction.

Finally, it might seem that you're cowardly too. Notice how I don't hide my name because I'm not ashamed of what I say.

Who looks like a moron now?
