He did it with the intention of driving away people from the community. Doing things with the intention of weeding out people is well described as harassment.
Eugine would have had the possibility to respond to Kaj with an apology and a promise to not engage in this activity again in the future. From Kaj summary it looks like he didn't. While I would have prefered a solution where he could have stayed, I think strong moderation is valuable and I therefore support Kaj's decision.
Some people describe that as improving the signal to noise ratio. A good many, I believe.
Likely he's the hero of his own story, and believes he has nothing to apologize for. Never had that lesson in losing against those with power over you.
