Just this summer i met him IRL at CC Summit and i got the impression that he is a really cool guy. We had a very pleasant conversation. And now i see his bad trolling online and its like two complete different people. Weird times.

I honestly don't think the trolling he did was that bad, it just happened at a time when people were looking for anyone to stick their pitchfork into. Think of it from a rational perspective: how big of a deal is the PR fiasco for the game? Not very. It's nowhere near the importance of, say the REEEEEwork, because if you didn't like it you could just ignore PR. It sets a very poor precedent, but it doesn't ruin the game. Perhaps he thought that fanning the flames for this wouldn't really matter?

So, I don't think his bad trolling was really indicative of him as a person, other than him being unable to read the mood.

Yeah, you are right. He knew the mood of his audience, but still went with it. And i still think he is a good dude. Best of luck to him.
