I'm sick of his behaviour.  If he modifies his own behaviour, and
continue to behave normally, he might get unmoderated.  Let him stay
moderated until he can stop being an insulting, aggressive, egotistical
sod.

Having sociopaths on the list drives people away.  New members, old
members.  They unsubscribe, they delete and ignore entire threads,
because they're sick of reading that crap.

And despite the "support stories," I don't see a *vast* amount of good
information coming through.  I see small amounts of information, and I
see plenty of other posters providing similar and more amounts of good
information.  And they do so without being an ass.

Seriously, stop defending him.  There's no excuse for what he does.
I'll go even further.  Since he's shown no evidence of stopping doing
it, unsubscribe him.  We're all better off without it.
