So you're positing a spurious correlation?

My guess is Roy's motives are mixed: love of Linux and happiness in its
successes, and dismay at the behavior of certain companies and their
zealous excesses.
Oh, I didn't really notice a downturn in trolls when Roy wasn't here.
Any small amount of reduction that did exist, I'd attribute to Roy not
being there to provoke them.
Anyway, I generally like Roy posting. Can't read all of them, though!
