"Trolls" have not forced anythings - just standard systemd developer behavior. They never make mistakes and everything is someone elses fault.

Systemd is running something as root because it doesn't like something in configuration file, instead of returning error or running it under the correct user. That's a huge WTF and a possible security issue, but alas. Systemd doesn't make mistakes and everything is someone elses fault.

They've had to delete multiple posts from the thread which are nothing but trolls, hell YOUR post is nothing but a troll.

This is not true, I've seen the issue develop till it was closed. There were like 2 posts removed, 1 might have been trollish, the other(s) were just people voicing displeasure at general systemd dev behavior. That might be offtopic and not polite, but it's not a troll either. And the OP you're replying to falls into that snarky, impolite category too, but is not a troll.

sadly these days it is all too easy to stick fingers in ears and go "troll troll troll" or "hater hater hater" than actually introspect.

Tempted to label it as a ripple effect of the rising SJW element in FOSS, because both terms seems to attract that group in defense of the shouter without concern for context.
