But, in his response where he explains his motivation, does anyone think he might have a point?
Quite the reverse. The initial post has a point but the response is a juvenile rationalisation.
In the response he claims that his spelling and grammar errors were intentionally adopted as a trick, but then makes more in the response. Likewise with respect to crude and offensive language. The guy has been caught lying about numerous other things, and transparently lied in that response.

December 2009 Meta Thread
Do people think that "Don't Feed the Trolls" should apply to mormon2 in all his myriad identities (sharing numerous matching spelling errors, the same personal insults of Eliezer and Less Wrongers, creationism and other baiting tactics)? He has used exploits on the karma system, lied about his credentials and the links between his identities, and regularly makes rude personal attacks on people other than Eliezer. The only plausibly positive thing mormon2 has done is ask Eliezer for info about his work at SIAI, but he ignores answers and doesn't actually seem interested in answers, only in getting at Eliezer.
I propose the following:
1) Anyone other than mormon2 who has questions they think Eliezer has been inadequately answering can put them in replies to this comment, and then collectively ask Eliezer for clear straight answers.
2) Afterwards, no one responds to mormon2 or any other aliases he comes up with.

Eliezer's main problem with it was where it was posted (or that's all he let on to anyway).

The writing style is noticeably different, and there are no vitriolic personal attacks. If this was mormon2, I am quite favorably impressed with him.
You're right, all lower-case "i" for the first-person pronoun in comments thus far. Those were my biggest reasons for not being more suspicious.
