The issue isn't Tim, and I'd imagine that was his intention. The issue is what Tim's reasonable criticism (of PSF policy changes) provoked, ie., a list of accusations from the CoC group that were obscenely defamatory (grounds for a civil suit) and nakedly self-serving. A list of accusations with no references, no quotes, no examples to evidence them -- just a list of the most extreme kind of bigotry that no reasonable person would tolerate. Tim, and others, I'd say have given pitch-perfect good faith criticisms of the PSF carefully given with unfalting good-faith to perform the truth of these criticisms. Namely, he induced a group bullies in the middle of defining their own power to abuse others, to bully and abuse him. It is in these actions that we see, immediately, that his criticisms are accurate. The PSF may presently believe they can conduct themselves this way, and the powergrab will eventually be permitted and so on -- but they've severely underestimated the relevant power dynamic: which is not between the PSF and powerless former critics, but between the community and the PSF itself.
