That article made my head spin. What's the problem? Its like they're trying so hard to turn a positive into a negative. I don't see anything wrong with temporarily giving Silver members Gold status. Way better than not allowing them to play at all.

They're using the ME3 demo situation as an example of why MS charging so much, in a time when you can play online everywhere else for free, is absurd.

The argument that MS could have XBL free reminds me of an argument against Apple charging its prices and making so much profit. Why should they charge so much when they're making gangbusters? Answer: Because not only can they, people actually don't care.
