There were a few times I almost felt some sympathy for che, but then he'd turn around and stick his cyber-foot in his cyber-mouth and my feelings would go back to .
As times (early on) he seemed naive and *innocent*, but soon he became IMHO consciously manipulative and intentionally tried to light some fires, and to me it seemed he was enjoying the results.
Among the flames directed at him several people tried very sincerely to be calmly constructively critical and helpful (and I commend them for that), but he seemed to want none of it. I'm glad he left voluntarily, although it might have been a "quit or be fired" decision.
I don't like to see people treated badly either, but I don't feel much sympathy now.
