Indeed. And just for the record, he always responds to DT-related questions in a very polite manner, so the "avoids contact or even mention of his former bandmates" (as if the first two OSI albums don't exist!!!!) is the most blatantly untrue part of that wikia entry.

Yeah, he's very polite when talking about DT: for example in an interview with Finnish magazine Soundi from 2009 he said there was no bad blood between him and the remaining DT members and he hasn't wished them anything bad (not that this is anything new). That's actually the only Finnish interview with him I have managed to find! :lol

However, I do remember reading some old email intie from the OSI debut era and the interviewer noted that Kevin didn't answer some questions, which were mostly DT-related. I can't find it right now but I guess it's probably easier to skip those questions when you're not being asked about them face-to-face or by phone.

EDIT: I did a quick translation of the DT-related part of the Finnish intie:

What about the parallel universe where Kevin Moore could live? What if he hadn't departed from Dream Theater after the first three albums?

-I don't regret my decision. Although of course it's terrible for the remaining members to always hear me answer this way. My life changed and I left.

One also has to remember that the leader of Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy, played the drums on the first two OSI albums (2003's OSI and 2006's Free). Moore confirms the talk about an ugly split exaggerated.
-I haven't wished anything bad on any one of them.
He also talks about his unwillingness to tour and Mikael Ã…kerfeldt's involvement on the OSI song Stockholm, among other things. I can translate the rest of the interview in the OSI thread if anyone is interested.
