Wow. Dodged a major bullet. Your process is very similar to how I would like to run interviews on both sides.

I expect that guy is playing a different game - looking for overemployment or obligated to apply for a certain number of jobs per week. He might also just be in a really bad mental place right now and unable to see not everyone is stupid and against him. Absolutely doesn't excuse the bullying and rudeness but might be part of an explanation.

If Adam reads HN maybe these comments will push him to reflect or get some help.

This is part of why we still need to do interviews!
