From my knowledge of him he treats the curious well answering their
questions.

He, however does not suffer fools gladly, a trait that on newsgroups
is an admirable thing.

How he went about "not suffering fools gladly" in all the wrong ways, when
he started cross posting to all the kook groups. The senseless jabs were
bad enough, but if he had stopped there, he would have been no worse or
better than many others. He didn't stop there, though.

There can be no doubt as to the damage he has done, and there can be no
justifying his actions by the good contributions he has made.

A person that sets a hotel on fire, then stops on the way home to help
someone change a flat on the side of the road would still be arrested for
arson, if he was caught.

Same thing here.

No free pass for evil deeds, in my opinion.
