The Register, in the tradition of British rags, uses somewhat hyperbolic/clickbaity headlines. You'll note that torpedoing isn't used in the copy, just the heading.

I agree, though; for someone who (a) is a volunteer and (b) is doing it because he dislikes the direction of the organization, this is a remarkably civil disentangling.

Yeah, people need to keep in mind that the sites slogan is "biting the hand that feeds IT". After all, it is the current home of the BOFH series.
