In the Ravenloft Forum, there was a thread that got into a heated discussion. It can be found here.

Having just read that entire thread it seems clear that the mods disagreed with Ewan, and then mocked him. He is a soldier who served in the US Military in Iraq and they mocked "shell-shocked" soldiers with ptsd at him. despicable.

People have real feelings and can experience real trauma, and being reminded of said trauma conjures very real emotional distress.
Put the torch down, JMaytr, and read that again.

I don't know nothing about nothing in regards to how things were taken and what triggered the trigger, or even what the response was, but if that was it (or tone of the latter part; ie: "preaching to the choir") then that is the obvious focal point of peaceful reconnect...

I cannot speak to that. I'm just johnny-forum-member.

I was aware of the disagreement, and I knew* about your game here. My only intention was to point you guys toward the thread where it occurred so that you could get a better picture of how it transpired.

Like Five, I don't see in Jester's what made him that angry. But I do not have his personal background.

That said, posting insults when angry isn't the way to go. Explaining his perceived disagreement (what made him angry, or asking for explanation) would have been more interesting, as discussion would have continued with civility.

More explanations added up there, in the main board (p 14 of the 5e thread).
