They were even at it after Reiser led police to his wife's body: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=240814

Best comment on that thread, calling out their ridiculous takes:

> I gotta say it: the guy was a f-cking murderer and yet you guys are arguing about whether he got a fair trial, even after he led the cops to the strangled, decomposing corpse. And then complaining about the sheer brass neck of a journo who fails to show appropriate respect to this f-cking murderer. What, just because he hacked on Linux once upon a time? Jeez, you really couldn't make this stuff up.
