~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Not to say they deserved to be harassed, but you can’t expect not to be if you do things in a really shady way.

Is what I said. As in I don't believe that they should have been harassed, but the internet being the internet... we know that's what happens when people do shady shit like that.

Linus can't control idiots that just watch his videos. He was on record as "don't bother this person" in several places. And I've not seen any case where Linus "sent" people to harass this kid. So yes... even if the group is ultimately unified by Linus... I can't necessarily blame him.

None of which contradicts anything I said.
