Other things related to his presence generate disruptions to the group as
well. Posts that discuss him that he didn't start nor directly involve him
come to mind. One question is why someone would generate such reactions
from others? I understand it as a typical response to an outsider whose
primary objective is to provoke. One can witness such behavior in almost
any social venue.

He doesn't start those posts. There is a "gang up" mentality in almost
all groups, this one included. Once started ("fairly" or not) it's hard
to stop. But that fact doesn't validate it.
