He kept pointing out a problem that everyone else was ignoring, and they kept ignoring it. He gradually got minimized until he left on his own, and the problem remained. He definitely rubbed people the wrong way. The problem definitely existed.

What kind of problem was it, did he/she try to fix it on their own, did others acknowledge that was a problem and needed to be fixed?
