Which has nothing to do with the problem. But, does explain most of my frustration with him. He has a brain could use it but chooses to be an asshole instead.
What in the past or elsewhere Cowing has done is not germane.
He posts off topic that threaten the foundations of the net.
I think there are many nonnative speakers who see his posts and simply pass on posting at Space. Space needs as much positive support as possible and Cowing is not providing any currently.
