 From the little I know of him as a person, I agree with that - but with 
one proviso.  /You/ would be one of the posters that make him most 
uncomfortable.  Your claims that the guidelines recommend general use of 
file-scope "using namespace std;" are exactly the kind of unjustified 
opinion that irritate many people.  Your accusations of "mental 
problems" are equally annoying.  (You are not alone in these, of course 
- such attitudes turn up in many online discussion forums.)

You were on a far better standing when you wrote that it was /your/ 
choice for code /you/ wrote.

Similarly, people who disagree with having it in code on Wikipedia would 
be better off saying they disapprove of it in those circumstances, than 
making absolute demands that it should never be used.
