That's fair! And, yes, he seemed to enjoy rushing into every flamewar he could find back then.
It's one of the reasons this current tweet is so surprising - he's moaning about "drama and politics", "negative useful work", and "shit-stirrers" "who are more annoying to work with than [their] contributions justify", but doesn't seem to realise that all of those complaints could have been made more strongly still about ESR himself, especially when he was in his pomp.
