It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

He kinda touches on this in the article but I always felt tubeless was more for off-road applications anyway. Personnally I have a few bikes and my enduro bike is the only one with a tubeless setup
Sorry, but tubes are significantly better for off-road performance. What do you off-road?
Edit: I can't really say why I wrote this comment like this. Very aggressive. Sorry again.
Pinch flats are way more likely when running low tire pressure off road. That does not happen with tubeless setups.
Yeah sorry, I'd meant that -in my experience.
I'd had issues with loss of air on hard turns or losing the bead more often. I wonder if the model of rim was poorly designed.
