I think you'd better email him and ask him Col. Rather than speculate,
there.

It's not speculation.
I recall him saying that he was posting less because of all the
arguing, which didn't happen in the early days of the group,
and ultimately he seems to have left because of it.

Yes, that's my recollection too. I think the interminable arguments
about GW got too much.

It's probably relevant that the charter for this group, which is
probably largely his work since he was the group's original proposer,
includes: "Any discussion of climate issues should be from a scientific
standpoint and not a political (or environmental-activist) one." So he
obviously feared what might happen, but it happened anyway. See:

Yes it was that John and I think I was partially to blame, which is a
shame as I liked Phillip. He was right of course but the trouble is
you get to know people and its difficult having to start in another
group.
