I agree with your point of view, that the path to enlightenment is
covered with con's as well as pro's. And while I may agree with parts
of the referenced website I'm convinced that OOP is _not_ mad. Any
programming paradigm requires some skill from the programmer.

I do have experience with other programming paradigms, just now I'm
doing a project in C. So my choice of the OO paradigm over the
procedural paradgim is actually somewhat wellfounded. Not to say that
C and the procedural paradigm is necessarily worse and I do think
there are applications where it is preferable. Yet for what I would
like to do I believe that OO is much more suitable.
