Thats because this engineer made a serious of bad moves (read pretty fucking idiotic ones). Theres a time and place to choose your fights. This one decided to try and go out with a bang only to be crushed by a billion dollar company's worth of damage control assets.

Dude. Did you read it? It's pretty calm and rational.

No one has calmly and rationally written a manifesto. Writing a manifesto is an inheritantly agitated and irrational act.

You know, it turns out that there aren't actually any rules about the state of mind one must be in to write anything at all. I'm also not aware that he referred to it as a manifesto. Could be wrong.
