What I see is a person who loved classic EQ very much, and has spent years playing it and more years thinking about what made it so good, what caused its decline, and what could be done to recreate the good old days.
He discovered p1999 (probably because SOE servers are down) and saw a possible outlet for his ideas, so he came and wrote his ideas in long, well-written and (for the most part) well-thought out posts on this board.
However, Project 1999 isn't really the place for these ideas as this server already has a firm goal and it is not "create the perfect MMORPG" or even "create a perfect version of Everquest." It's "recreate Everquest exactly, flaws and all."
The denizens of this board informed him of this fact, and he has chosen to disregard it because that would mean acknowledging that it's pointless to suggest changes to the game.
Basically, he started with good intentions, the members here informed him of some disappointing truths, and he ignored them and charged forward.
