I'm bothered by the fact that he opens a thread for his project where he refuses to discuss certain questions in detail (even goes as far as threatening with deletion) because "wait for the whitepaper".

I don't see the point of the thread.

Mark this down for the history books.

I agree with traumschiff.

Seems like the only purpose is to hype vaporware.

I don't think it is really malicious but more driven by enthusiasm and being a bit impatient to wait until it's actually done (at least in part) before discussing it. The effect is similar though.

I started a thread where I could update the public on progress of the development, with first order of business being getting a vote on the proposed name and the next step I said I would be uploading some code. Then from there on updates on the progress.

I don't understand what is wrong with making a thread for that purpose to track the early stage development of a coin?

Please enlighten me?

Mostly the discussion, I suppose, where you answer questions and FUD but without being able to give any substantive answers (I'm not criticizing your reasons for that).

My suggestion is to lock the thread and bump it when you have substantive updates. Maybe reopen on a more permissive/permanent basis when there is actual substance to discuss (code, white papers, slides, etc.)

But if the idea was just to discuss the name (first order of business as you say), that's certainly reasonable but then the off topic (to the name) posts should be deleted and not replied with non-substantive replies.
