I'll just say that the behavior while regrettable, fits a pattern I've seen in people under (actual) attack. Eventually it escalates to the point where the person can't distinguish friend and foe, which reliably creates a pretty ugly doom spiral.

But what stands out to me is that because of this and other things he is 'fair game' to be targeted with tactics the same people would never tolerate against other 'fellow travelers' and certainly not other tech projects.

In short I don't think the solution to (justified or totally imagined) persecution complexes is to reinforce them with retaliation.
