There are four pages (and growing) on this in the "Major Tool of the Day" thread in the "Majors" section. Very little discussion of the actual incident, though; just lots of Delta-bashing.
As it turns out... DL dude was more right than wrong.
The ERJ crew had their hands full and didn't run the QRC. If they had, they would have disabled the trim via cutout switches.
The CA initially solved the problem by transferring control to the FO, but then brought the problem back again by taking control back. Trim cutout would have prevented that.
