I was shocked when I read it... that is, until I read Sanger's response beneath it... then I was absolutely dumbfounded. With a guy with that attitude at the helm, I'm expecting the CZ project to fizzle out VERY quicky.
Wow. That makes me sad. I was rooting for them, hoping that they would make a useful competitor. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another," and all that. When I read the linked post, I was suspicious, as David Still's quoting clearly doesn't present the full picture. But then I read this bit from Sanger:
If I “micromanage everything,” it is because no one else will actually step up to do any of the relevant managing at all.
How unfortunate.
For those wanting more background on the link, here is daveydweeb's original post, which has a lot of apparently sincere content along with some inconsiderate and overdramatic language:

Here's where he posts on the Citizendium forums, apologizing for the language and trying to get more discussion about the content:

Of course, that did get me to go look at Citizendium again, only to find they won't show me anything. Sadder still.
