I didn't remove him for any measure of popularity, I removed him for
exactly the reasons I stated -- endless tirades, rudeness, calling me
a liar.

[snork!] The archives show the exact opposite.

Because I'm running this list, it's all about free discourse and
politeness, learning from each other, sharing ideas and resources, and
promoting a culturally important musical instrument. If you can't
deal with that, please leave. If the level of politeness is not up to
my standards, I'll remove the rude people.

And if there are too many rude people I'll simply shut down the list.
Because it's just not worth it to me to deal with a bunch of assholes.
