Quote in the middle of the article.
The poster should show that that one sentence from Torvalds could be dismissed - we do not know exactly what interventions he called "trolls". Maybe they were, maybe they were not.
I will still prefer to suspend judgement as it is not immediate what was in Linus' mind when he accused some of being trolls (on suspicion of being organized trolls). He is there and knows names and past - we the outsiders should get properly acquainted with all of that.
Surely, this outcome feels like better-if-avoided collateral damage.
