I (who have almost nothing to contribute to Spamassassin itself, other than
being a user) think he should be blocked.
He was voted off the list a few years ago. That does not prevent him from
reading and replying to list posts.
I've been online for over 40

Agreed.
I admit, it made me worried what kind of environment was fostered on
the Spamassassin list when I asked my newbie question, and was outright
mocked by him.
That sort of behavior is why he was banned.
And so, while I have zero sway as a team member or anything
like that, as a newbie mailing list member, looking for help, I humbly submit
that he's not someone you want being the first interaction a new list member
has.
Sadly, we cannot control that.
