Looking at https://plus.google.com/+AaronSeigo/posts/j8DUYz3pMDw , I assume that the person you are speaking about is Michael Huff.

But I fail to draw the same conclusion regarding employer, mostly because I have access to more data par of my own employment, like a internal directory.

So either the internal RH directory is lying, or the name used on g+ is not the good one, or your conclusion is incorrect. I think that having a background on google plus of a linux distribution is not sufficient to deduce where someone work, but maybe I also misunderstood your reasoning.

Oh, I'm quite aware that he might well not have actually been employed by RH, but that would have meant imputing bad faith and lying on his part, which was an addition step I was unwilling to make.

Just because someone's being unnecessarily horrible to me doesn't mean he's a liar! It probably means I've done something socially unacceptable without noticing it, yet again. (In this case, I don't think it did, but only because I checked with a bunch of people to make sure that I hadn't said something to offend someone.)

Aside: A week ago, when this interaction took place, he had his employer listed as "Red Hat" in his profile. I think someone must have had words with him, because that is now gone.
