At the risk of sounding empathic :(. I can understand where Burton is coming from, not because of the content - Its one of the most amusing articles I've seen for a long time, but because of two dangers in labelling named individuals - first you may get the labels wrong and offend someone - particularly as at least one of the titles seems to me somwhat perjorative can-do would be a better title than gung-ho, and second you inevitably leave people out.
