I am unsure that there is a 'victim' and 'abuser's here. Take a look into the article. He does exactly thing he protests against: 'pours the shit' over someone. 'There are assholes in community' ... ' Linus said: ... '. For me this is like: Look, I can prove that Linus is asshole!

And I could see it that victim is actually Linus and community in this case.

Pours the shit? Really? Saying that someone is bad as a role mode is "pouring shit"?
And what do you call people who's funniest idea for a "joke" is suggesting to pool bitcoins to hire a hitman or to quote "cut his hands, so he will not be able to write any new line of code". Mind you that there was not a single smiley, grin, "but seriously" or any other indication that this was spoken in jest. It's just an interpretation that this was a joke. But regardless of that, I'd go forward to call such people "assholes". They clearly fit the definition.

Yes, reviving things someone done 2 years ago pointing person by name is "pour shit" at full scale.

Like the guy taking a 4 years old video of Datenwolf and Lennart to say that Lennart is always criticizing people ?
