The problem you have is that you only care about yourself.
While yes, all these mentors and some newbies maybe can just ignore this kind of thing knowing that it's just one rotten apple that obviously has some problems, those players that literally joined as this was happening might not find it easy to ignore.
And that is what matters here - the fact that the first impression of the community that new players get was absolutely ruined by that not very smart individual.
