As has already been mentioned, his points came with references to the
site.

And the thing is, I've read most of those papers and if "bjarne" isn't
Bjarne, he's all but quoting what those papers say. The content of the
post seemed to me to match what I've read of Bjarne's opinion on, as
he said "both the similarities and the differences" of C and C++.

So, if it was a spoof, it seemed a pretty genuine one to me. [shrug]
