I have been receiving e-mails from people who have known Jonmon well, from outside of this LiveJournal community, the details of which I will probably end up taking to the grave. What I can distill from these communications and share is this: if you are compassionate to Jonmon, if you forgive him, if you give him another chance... be prepared to pull a knife from your back.
In your case, pulling the knife from your back might result in a self-righteous orgasm, but those who do not share your philosophy and are tired of dealing with this individual after many years of constant issues are no longer willing to be accepting of his behavior. I think they are justified in venting and in warning others of their experience. Jonmon's MO is to try to (usually unsuccessfully) dominate everyone into doing exactly what he wants, and nothing less, by all means available. Mean words on the Internet are nothing in comparison.
