Does he then favour a switch away from GTK to QT? No, he merely thinks "it would be perfectly possible to deliver the values of GNOME on top of QT."
I'm not too sure about values when it comes to GNOME - unless it's the push to wholesale, crass commercialism. But then that's my view.

and earlier in the same article:
Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be - could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.

I'm sorry, but he quite clearly deserved those remarks. To make such statements like those then claim innocence in being attacked is bs, not the guest commenters. Grow up.
