Would you please clarify why the leader sees himself as ideal? This seems to be the other side of Weinberg's sword - is it that the leader develops an illusionary belief that he is perfect, available, or tolerant, when in actuality he is less than ideal as he could make a mistake, need to distance himself from his stressful group or impulsively say something sarcastic, for example?

So, by this, do you mean that, for example, I felt that it was ubsurd for newwife to suggest that problem posters be banished, and when you innocently queried her to clarify if this were the consequence she intended, I then transferred my distain, frustration, want to be sarcastic, whatever for newwife on to you and your motives?
