Assuming you mean Ilias, he is definitely a troll.  He uses 
inflammatory language against programming languages in some sort of 
attempt to draw out the "leaders" of said language.  Having done so, he 
repeatedly goads them with whatever he things will get a response.  
Notice how he keeps saying that Matz is dishonoring his name; Ilias 
probably assumes that since Matz is Asian, he will be unable to resist 
rising to such an attack.  Matz is, of course, capable of not feeding 
trolls even when they personally attack him.  I wish others were 
intelligent enough to do the same.
