This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

That is my impression also.  As I understand it he was given a temporary 
posting ban, but chose instead to leave permanently.  That suggests he was 
unwilling to consider changing the content of his posts, which had included 
rather too much of personal attacks / challenges and incomprehensible or 
irrelevant observations, and rather too little of anything else.

I am certain his intentions are good, and if he wants to make changes in the 
above I'd welcome him back.  Otherwise, I think it's best to leave well 
enough alone.
