I would also like to point out that Maik did not post it here himself. 
It's an opinion directed to a group of people that most likely knows him 
and his context better than we do on this list.

There is a big difference in how you can talk about, and talk to, other

you wouldn't normally use when talking to somebody. Generally there is 
nothing wrong with this, but seen out of context it can seem inapropriate.
