The article went on for pages about ground loops or somesuch thing (the
neutral being grounded in two different places). So, my suggestion is

that
you find out if you can unbond your generator, since you are unlikely to
find a transfer switch to switch both hot and neutral. There is no need

to
ground the generator separately, since it's ground is not connected to
anything except the house ground.


I will check and post updates. I am not sure just what possible
dangers to the generator could be created by unbonding.

I recently spoke to a professional electrician who confided that although
prohibited by the NEC, multiple hot-neutral bonds are quite common. He has
seen the question raised in professional meetings, and the answers were
always sketchy.

It seems that some electronic equipment is affected by noise impressed onto
ground, but the problem is overrated.
