Well as the person that ported many a GNU package to MS-*DOZE, I suppose 
it's easy to think he's paid by Microsnoft. But as far as I know he works 
for a company called Elta not Microsnoft.

Eli, "trolldom" was probably not meant to be offensive. It probably
(somewhat erroneous) derived from the verb trolling which in news is 
posting potential flameable material to get somebody to bite.
