Oh come on now, he wasn't drive off the site. He was really quite rude to a number of people and then tried to defend himself by saying that's just the way he is. Well, I'm fucking sorry, we can't have moderators of hundreds of thousands of people that say things like this when someone tries to defend themselves in a concise and coherent manner: "Respond to this reply in any way and I will ban you. Now go away."

Furthermore, he's even gotten people shadow banned on the site for minor disagreements. He is way too aggressive and then says it's not his problem.

Is politeness actually an important trait in a moderator?

I personally believe politeness is an important trait in any political job, and moderation is a political act.
