That said, I don't think this is really a justified criticism we have here, pending further details.
Well, those "pending details" don't seem to be stopping the soppy eulogies and reposting of the guy's old blogs, etc, like he just died a tragic death. I felt the need to counterbalance with a healthy dose of scorn.
Let me share my estimated likelihood of the various scenarios:
0.1% - why is dead and the actions are that of a script
0.1% - why has been maliciously hacked to an unprecedented degree
99.8% - why has, in fact, spat the dummy, and thrown all his toys
right out of the pram
I guess time will tell which turns out to be the case.
