Default Articles's tone (rant)

Though I like a lot of Pavlina's ideas, I am getting increasingly put off by the tone of his recent articles (I am not a writer, so I don't know what tone means exactly, but the rant stand ). Earlier articles always contained personal experiences, like how he proved how polyphasic sleep could work. The tone seemed to be "see I did it, maybe you can do it, try it!". Recent articles seem to have the tone "this is how it is, do it now young padawan" as in the recent articles on polarity. OK, so the new articles have good intuitive arguments, but the reason I read blogs is for personal experiences and examples. Good intuitive arguments are also neccessary ofcourse, but the flavor comes from the personal experience, the more specific the better. For example, how did you find out about polarity? How did you become convinced? What thoughts went through your head? What difficulties did you experience? When and how did you finally succeed? How has polarity affected your own life? and so on....
