> The fact that so many people who disagreed with Gerv about matters concerning orthodox Christian have also testified that he was always a gentlemen

The relevant question is not how many people disagreed with Gerv in ways that were broadly inoffensive (I was certainly in this category), but the number of people who disagreed with Gerv and found that that disagreement became a lengthy argument about whether their lifestyle was fundamentally wrong. I know many in the latter category who would disagree that he was always a gentleman in the way he interacted with them.
