You're missing the picture. Naggum dumped on practically everyone. And while he would always argue that he had been provoked because everyone else were such idiots, I think a dispassionate observer would reach a different conclusion.

all this "moral" thing is beside the point

Ironically, Naggum would not have agreed with you on this point. He made a big deal of it.

Oh, and it really is "Naggum" with an "m" -- the HN title is wrong.
