Also, Eugine's comments seem like optimized to offend. Such comments are "convincing for the already believing, and irritating for the unbelieving".

Did he start out this way or did this develop over time as he got more frustrated? I thought his comments got particularly worse after he got banned.

I mean, feel free to speculate about his true reasons. I am just saying they don't change anything about the ban.

Let me be clear, I'm just trying to understand why this happened. This behavior absolutely should be banned. Even if he had reasons for his actions, they were still wrong and he's still an asshole.

I think he got worse with time (though was never 100% unproblematic to begin with), but I'm fully not sure.

I don't remember.
