First: This is not what weeklyOSM has written.
Second: I disagree this is inappropriate - inprecise maybe, but not 
inappropriate.

Here we agree - although you probably would consider most better ways to 
summarize the discussion to be even less appropriate.

It is quite simply a fact that the way Yuri has interacted with the OSM 
community during the last months has led to a lot of people developing 
a fairly bad opinion of him, his attitude and what he does.  If you try 
to prevent people from articulating these opinions and prevent others - 
those in the weeklyOSM team - from reporting on and communicating about 
this in the way they perceive it, including the intensity and extent of 
the displeasure felt by those in the discussion, you are going to do 
more damage to the OSM community than either Yuri or anyone maybe going 
on occasion a bit overboard with their choice of words in the 
discussion.
