I think you're "seeing what you want to" in his comments. One of the reasons I appreciate clojure and the community so much is that it's one of the few that doesn't actually troll things. If anything, the community tends to give really well thought out reasoning around why they make the decisions they are making. When making an argument, sometimes it's important to explain why something is different, or why you've made the choice you made. Just because you explain why your idea is different doesn't make it trolling.
