The problem is that you misunderstood what he was saying, and then harshly criticized what you mistakenly took him to mean. He was asked "Can you describe the editorial policy [of wikien.net]?" He replied that it would be a relaxed forum for discussion and chitchat, with 'no trolling or outing' as a caveat to the relaxed moderating. Nowhere did he make a claim about on-wiki (or on-list) problems of trolling or outing (outing is making public personal details on someone who edits psuedonymously). The background, which you evidently missed, is that some non-wiki forums used to discuss Wikipedia expressly allow both trolling and outing.
