I don't hate anybody's guts and never have. There was a time when I could not post in the Nim community without an aggressive response from the person you mention - and would often enter the space to find many unprompted aggressive messages about me from him in what amounted to a harassment campaign. Contrary to your experiences, I have seen him frequently interact with others in the same way (and some have left the community because of it).

I'm glad that their community has a code of conduct. It is unfortunate that members there have never applied those rules to their interactions with and about me, nor with many others they targeted in the Nim community.

For your clarity going forward: I did not ban him, though I was one of the people who advised and agreed with that course of action. All decisions on whether to ban someone or not were taken by Araq (at the time at least).

It surprises me to hear you say you have never seen him engage that way with anybody else, given that you acknowledge that his banning was deserved. If I recall he was banned for aggressive behaviour towards _multiple_ members of the community.
