Seriously, there's no army of anonymous trolls out on the Internet capable of a sustained edit campaign on a single page that just about manages to stay within Wikipedia's rules. It's editors and their sock puppets.
More generally, I'm getting tired of people acting like anonymous trolls are a completely separate set of people from normal members of the community. Like it or not, they're the same people. We don't log onto a different account and suddenly become a 14-year-old boy that's scared of girls, we channel our inner 14-year-old boy. Sooner we accept that, sooner we can grow up.
If you consider the context of what that editor is going through right now, his reaction makes more sense.
