It was a single small incident out of (assuming) months of moderation and he later stepped down.

I am asking you to have some empathy, your comments make the situation look like he was being a master manipulator when all he had was an ego problem and a conflict of interest.

We’re humans, we do stupid things. Just because he is a bad moderator (because many people who get moderator status often end up abusing it) and did a single bad incident shouldn’t invalidate his blog nor it should mean he is an awful person.
