It's not a label, it's a description. Based on his post, that Zhang guy believes that people shouldn't have donated to Arachne, for example, because he personally didn't think it was necessary. In other words, his personal opinion should have a special status => entitled.
As the author of the 'diatribe', I'm concerned that a personal account of my experience with a programming language and my reasons that I'm lacking motivation to continue to program in that language has generated this type of response.

I felt that Rich's response was fair. There is so much frustration and pain in the search for perfection. He has given his heart and soul to the language so of course it was expected. I'm really glad he still cares so much for the language. It's rare to see such a raw, passionate reply like that and I know that the language is in great hands.
