Not rewas level, definitely not. But he has become far worse then the good friend I once knew. I personally have seen a decline in good behavior dramatically.
Besides the point, thats my opinion of him.
You've witnessed envz's decline in behavioural attitude the past few months. You've noticed an increase in his trolling. You've noticed him disobeying staff and rules. You've also seen he has done this on multiple occasions.
About the mute/kick thing, I'm not online 24/7, but I'm in IRC most of the time. Kick and ban are the fastest things to do there, and if I have to repeatedly kick someone for the same reason, after repeated warnings, I'll just ban them. Same would go if I were on the server too. Being in IRC gives an unparalleled view of the complaints and trollish behaviour on the server, as well as repeated spams and insults.
