I still maintain that the "what have you contributed to this site" comment was unnecessary.
Considering your 'maybe you're just a musician' attack aimed at him a while back, this is a crystal clear case of 'pot, kettle.'

I also do not understand how Raphael's complaint about not responding to e-mail makes him a troll.
Let's assume for a moment that he's right and Bob didn't actually reply. Even in that case (which could've had plenty of explanations such as it having gone to junk mail, an internet connexion fail at the time of pressing 'send', good old procrastination, etc), the mature course of action would've been contacting him privately again and bringing it up.
Instead, RafaelS presumably went straight to airing that dirty laundry in public, presumably trying to rain on his parade just as Bob was (rightfully and deservingly) celebrating the tenth anniversary of his fantastic website. Whether RafaelS contributed a lot, a little or nothing to QZ is completely irrelevant IMO: inflammatory comment is being inflammatory; it's being poorly timed and done in an awful way. That's what makes him a troll.
PS: Over the many, many, many instances Bob and I have failed to see eye to eye or even engaged in long-winded debates, not once has he ever been uppity or dismissive.
