The imminent collapse of all he holds dear, would be my best guess.
Anyone considering using linux and taking a peek in this group will,
with Roy S's good work, be able to see in moments numerous examples of
the constant take-up of linux all over the planet.  This is precisely
what Erik doesn't want them to see.  He, Tim, Gary/flatty, grug and co
want them to see an argumentative, chaotic, mess.  I've said many many
times, and stand by it, ignore the trolls...  but Toy's news postings
are /almost as good/!
