You are judging him just as much as other people. The judgement differs, however.

However, you seem to be missing a simple fact: judging what someone says is not the same as judging someone.

does it not remind you of the old case of primitive pete where the screw driver is also a prybar, a chisel, a scraper, a torque stick, a scribe, measuring stick and marking punch? you can also scratch your back with it I suppose.

And he is also judging the ones that post in this thread, which to him are also total strangers. So who is he to do so?

There is a difference between using a tool like that for something it was not made for and making people believe that you don't need a resistor when driving a led with a Raspberry PI.

I watched a bit of the video last night, and yes there is the "I'm not using a resistor and I dare you to convince me that it is wrong" message, but no further explanation that it might wreck your Raspberry PI when you connect multiple leds this way to the other GPIO pins. I'm not willing to blow 35 euros on testing when it fails, and maybe the PI is hardened enough that it does not. But it is still ill advise.
