I'm assumed it was an alias hijacking or sock puppetry.  This seems to happen 
here once in awhile, especially against those who have voiced a different 
opinion on D :P.  But I suppose you never know...

This is one things I'm learning too; people aren't always what they present 
themselves to be online.  Everyone has a very fragile life, with problems 
and suffering; taking offense too easily is not useful or productive here. 

The truth is that we are all dying (faster or slower than others), and it 
is good to consider what this means, ultimately... and to be ready to encourage 
those around us who are bearing this burden or are weakened by the thought 
of it.  Life is indeed short.

Marcin, my condolences to you for the loss of your friend.  May you, your 
family, and his family find calmness in the storm.

All the best,

John
