Look at his actual comments

There's no question that many of his comments aren't helpful. And he does talk about issues that are outside his expertise and doesn't listen to people telling him otherwise (one of the more egregious examples would be in the comments to this post), and Tim responds negatively to people telling him that he is not informed about topics. But Tim does make helpful remarks. Examples of recent unambiguously productive remarks include this one, and this one. I don't see enough here to conclude that Tim is in general a problem.
