Wasn't so much targeted at you, as I was chiming in to agree with what you had said. :) Just in my own words.
Furthermore, I'm going to see what the authority directories think about his relay because that is just playing silly bugger only allowing bitcoin related traffic.
I don't see an issue with his relay only choosing to allow bitcoin traffic. Again, that comes down to allowing each relay operator to allow or reject whatever ports they are comfortable with through their relays. Just as we can't go around censoring services however we please, we can't go around telling relay operators that they need to allow arbitrary traffic on our say-so.
If he only allows a single port, he won't get the Exit flag (as long as the policy on that flag is that any two of [HTTP, HTTPS, IRC] must be exited). As far as the rest goes, As long as he's using the Tor-readable method of limiting ports (ExitPolicy, rather than some silly buggered firewall that Tor can't understand), my opinion would be to leave him be.
