I have learnt to just gloss over the unimportant parts of his mail,
and focus on the vast amount of good information that he shares with
the community. Live and let live for the common good, I would say.

I'm sick of his behaviour.  If he modifies his own behaviour, and
continue to behave normally, he might get unmoderated.  Let him stay
moderated until he can stop being an insulting, aggressive, egotistical
sod.

Having sociopaths on the list drives people away.  New members, old
members.  They unsubscribe, they delete and ignore entire threads,
because they're sick of reading that crap.

And despite the "support stories," I don't see a *vast* amount of good
information coming through.  I see small amounts of information, and I
see plenty of other posters providing similar and more amounts of good
information.  And they do so without being an ass.

Seriously, stop defending him.  There's no excuse for what he does.
I'll go even further.  Since he's shown no evidence of stopping doing
it, unsubscribe him.  We're all better off without it.

I do not at all condone or defend the kind of language that is used many
times in his mails, and I certainly do not want people to be driven away
from the list. I was merely stating the strategy I use, to live with
those mails coming into my mailbox.

I believe that the moderators of the mailing list have the wisdom and
the experience to take the right decision, for the common good, and I
will fully support that decision.

In this case, I hope the moderators are listening to the pros and cons as expressed in this thread to determine what the list wants rather than looking solely from the pov of what they think is best for the list.
