I agree. At first I just saw him as an up and comer who was a little OCD about images. I didn't think anything of it. I mean, we're all OCD about something on here, so he'd fit in perfectly. My first red flag was, like you said, him raising several issues at once, many of which varied from minor to inconsequential. Basically, as time progressed, he got too big for his head. At first, calling him out worked for a while. Then it didn't and his shit got worse. And then we learned that he was too big for his head to begin with, not giving a crap about what anyone other than himself felt about a topic. After learning that, I watched him go from a hardworking and disagreeable editor to just a generally sad and all around despicable person. I thought him deactivating his account before the length poll even started was just his way of flipping us off and avoiding an actual ban. When he came back, I was skeptical like everyone else, but I wasn't worried, since I figured I could just call what he was doing sockpuppeting and ban him easy-peasy. He started getting slightly worse and everyone took notice. Then shit blew up too fast to keep track of and we find ourselves where we are today.

In the end, he needs to learn some consideration and compassion and realize that he can't have his way all the time. The word compromise needs to be at the vanguard of his vocabulary and behavior. The sooner he loses his arrogant attitude, the better. I know his ego is so inflated and his self-awareness so fargone that he'll just laugh when he reads this, and that makes me feel truly and deeply sorry for him. It's one thing to have a big ego, it's another thing entirely to let it control you. For his own sake, I hope he sees sense.
