He did at the time.  I hope he doesn't still think that, now that the 
official W3C Linked Data Glossary has been published:

The poll may have helped end the discussion, but I think what really 
ended it was the final publication of the Linked Data Glossary.

Personally I agree with David Booth's assertions that, if I understood correctly, whoever attempted to broaden the definition of 'Linked Data' beyond RDF is responsible for any subsequent confusion. Rather they should have minted their own term (like 'NoLinkedData' maybe, as in 'Not-Only Linked Data' :) !).
