I agree with your decision; ultimately, we shouldn't resort to the same methods. Satofan44 also asked me whether behavior like leaving tags by DT members is fair to the trust system. Nevertheless, he should listen to others and accept the forum's rules. Otherwise, he should open his own forum and invite a select few.  Perhaps your example will encourage him to cool his ardor toward those around him. I see so many helpful posts from him; in fact, I decided not to even add him to my distrust list, removing the tilde this week. I'd like to believe that we won't become enemies but rather teach by example how to be more considerate of others, and instead of reproaches and insults, ask him to teach things that others, for obvious reasons, may not know. For me, LoyceV is simply a wonderful example of how to behave online. If it is very difficult to understand each other, you can simply pass by.
