Hurting it, no. But he is taking the onus away from others to continue sharing, in the same way that someone who had downloaded 500 GB more than he had uploaded is placing an onus on others to make up the difference.
You can argue it however you like but the simple math of it is that for each bit downloaded there is one bit uploaded, no more, no less. If a high percentage of the total upload on a torrent all comes from one person, then yes he does limit the amount the other people on the torrent can upload.
Example - one torrent, 1 GB in size, 12 leechers. If the person who torrents it has a fast upload connection and decides to stay on until he uploads 10 GBs, that leaves only 2 total GBs of upload left to be shared among the 12 leechers. What kind of ratio do you think they will end up with?
