I'm still expecting a lot of him since he seems like a very reasonable person.
I agree, it's not too late yet. Just, I wouldn't expect him to go back to these people he clearly has an issue with so quickly.

I can't believe you guys are friends with John. Are you really doing this to his thread? C'mon, you guys can be better friends than that.
See, John, this attitude comes from the idea that this forum is inherently shit. Why treat a forum with respect when you just associate it with bad quality? You see, what irritated me about this immature attitude (and I hope you can understand it now) is that I grew up with this forum throughout my teenagehood and even though people may have done bad quality posts from time to time, we still treated this forum with the respect that it deserves. It kind of hurt me and a couple more people (hence why the reaction from the oldfags) to see a bunch of people completely ignore that and just run it to the ground.
From first hand experience, I can really say these guys aren't friends.
As for your viewpoint, I can completely see what you mean. The argument that all non-logical discussion has to come to OT doesn't mean that you can treat it as your shithole, as these guys seem to think. It's actually sad to see that they think this, and even get enjoyment from it. They need to learn to be more considerate of those around them, and stop caring about just their circlejerk.
