>The reason the author doesn't like Elmo is because he acts like a two year old.
I think the author's reasons for not liking Elmo are actually the ones he stated and took an entire essay to carefully explain.
And I find the author's detailed reasons compelling. I think there's something to be said in modeling behavior that you'd want a younger child to aspire to rather than just presenting them a mirror as they are today. I'm with him in feeling that it just isn't as challenging or valuable. I absolutely think the old show did a much better job of that.
