Wat was the best thing to do here?
Wat would YOU have done?
I think your decision to deal with him privately was smart. Clearly he didn't listen to you. However your decision to publicly call him out was a bad decision. I would have locked the thread and noted why I did so - i.e. just state that in your opinion the thread had become too "noisy."
