This is the same "crybullying" as before.  Note the "feeling" rhetoric, 
and how the crybully is "not comfortable" with the target of his current 
lynching effort.

Note that the context (elided for length here) shows that Tagliamonte is 
standing for his desired lynching of Appelbaum against what seems to me 
to be three-in-a-row of people calling out this behavior and reminding 
him that virtual lynching is still wrong.  One even compares the events 
to the actions of Anonymous and tries to remind him that Debian is not 
like that.
