You are quoting selectively.

IMO you are misrepresenting by quoting selectively. This from earlier
in that same post:

That he offered to pay, doesn't contradict his primary request is for
services free of charge.

He didn't ask for people experiences with various hosting providers. He
was asking people here to provide hosting services for him.

This list didn't became unpleasand and hostile. The hostility was
contained to a few threads. It was easy enough to avoid the hostility
if that was important enough to you.

I also find your reporting on the facts misleading. People didn't just
decide to drive Nikos away. People were getting fed up with the ongoing
annoying behaviour of Nikos. It wasn't Nikos who decided to fight back,
it were the people who had enough of Nikos's inconsiderate behaviour
who decided to fight back.
