It looks kind of libellous to me. If RH were a UK company, or LWN were
hosted in the UK, with its libel laws (so harsh that even UK MPs think
they're crazy), I suspect Jon would have ripped the comment down for his
own safety. (At least I hope he would have.)
'dersteppenwolf' seems like a very alt.syntax.tactical-style troll name to
me, too.
