I've put up a response to that. Rather off topic I think for that site though.
However as far a Phorm / webwise and any similar points go there are concerns. Most message boards are indeed not https, yet by choice many users choose to give some private details. It is for the use during their signup and subsequent use, to determine their trust of the site. They have the belief the site will endeavour to abide by it's terms of use. More importantly though, they have the belief that their data transmissions are not being intercepted.
Message boards are perhaps the most vulnerable thing to the privacy of users compared to phorm. Many users disclose stuff they shouldn't often to non public parts of the board. Where there is no https, are we saying that phorm can scan the message boards of private areas restricted to member only users?
