There are many others on this forum who also have lots of knowledge and experience and do not have the "harshness" or abrasive and abusive and condescending attitude that he displayed. He was asked innumerable times, and warned a few times about that sort of behavior, and on other forums also, and could not or would not change. That leaves a bad taste in many member's mouths and "being just the man he is" is no excuse for that behavior when so many members find it objectionable. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, mine differs in that I find this to be a much more relaxed and friendly place, and still the knowledgeable advice flows freely with good will towards all.
We will be sorry to see you go too.
