Courage cannot become foolhardiness, and agility cannot become evasiveness. That's a rare combination of qualities. Parker's agility is lacking, but it is unduly harsh to say that he was making no positive contributions. I am not so insecure in my views that I can tolerate no criticism.
Parker's LiveJournal should be just the thing, then: http://parkerpeters.livejournal.com/
I've had the impression that the relationship that you have with him is not based on mutual respect. ;-)
What he rants about in his own blog doesn't bother me. He has managed to anger a number of people in positions of power to the point where I wonder whether they feel so injured that they have lost sight of objectivity. He has his faults, but he also makes valid points.
I don't intend to start campaigning for his readmission to the list. Some important issues have been raised on the list, and Parker's presence on the list could be too disruptive even when he's right.
