Hendrik,

That's a very judgmental attitude to take.  If the individual left the 
group because he was mortified at your rather peevish post, then you 
should take responsibility for your action.  Instead, you have 
extrapolated several negative reasons for the person leaving which - 
given that you have no idea what others are actually experiencing - are 
probably wrong.   Unless, of course, you are a mind-reader.

A little tolerance can go a long way.  If you are a decent person, 
you'll email that fellow personally and try to get him to return.  At 
the same time, you could politely set him straight on issues of 
netiquette.
