no, to our morbid curiosity about what is going on in his head when he
sends an uppercase, arguably rude message to unsubscribe from a
technical mailing list to the list address.  just figure we could ask
instead of speculating.

although there are genuine mistakes out there, people who make one
deliberate error in rudeness or netiquette will often make another. 
too bad gmail doesn't have killfiles.

another solution is to put "to unsubscribe click here:
http://www.tfug.org/mailman?action=unsubscribemenow&id=hash1432423141234"
in the footer.  don't make the guy search for it or confirm.  just do
it.
