Of course he means well. He tries to help. He can't resist abrasive 
personal jabs while doing so. People get mad at him. He denies being 
responsible for the results.

Yes, in any specific case it is the choice of his victim to be offended 
or not. The fact that this happens again and again proves the problem 
is his, not theirs. 

The world is as it is. It will not change for Charles.

A is A, dude.

Sure, and your readers don't see the expression on your face or hear 
the tone of your voice, or have your posture and gestures to read. If 
you behaved in person the way you come across in text, you'd have been 
poked in the nose often enough to cause you to make the effort to be 
pleasant to people.

You excuse rudeness as candor and carelessness for succinctness. It 
takes effort to communicate in this medium, which you choose not to 
make.

Thank you, I'm glad you understand.

One of the requirements of participation in this forum is compliance 
with my direction. If you won't cooperate with me and your behavior 
remains disruptive I will exclude you from the group.

You've made your choice.
