Troll, @gorhill ignore it as this "citation" has been deprecated already and this account was created today just to post this, hardly legitimate.

This troll is going around posting shit here too - https://github.com/jspenguin2017/uBlockProtector/issues/675

Maybe he is not trolling, but doesn't mean he is right. No matter how we see it this is a lost cause for him.
