I can't help but wonder if this is intentionally ironic.

(From TFA: "There's a certain kind of person who's attracted to a shallow, exacting kind of moral purity, and who demonstrates his purity by attacking anyone who breaks the rules.")

I think it’s intentional and ironic. But I don’t think PG realizes what he did. I throughly believe he’s in the space of “I can do it because i am morally superior. But other folks can’t because they don’t get it like I do.” I get this feeling from reading not just this, but his other essays too.

Not sure about 'I can do it because I am morally superior'. Is it required to be morally superior to have an opposing view?

> other folks can't because they don't get it like I do

His point of view undoubtedly resonates with 'some folks'.
