Is there an explanation of this story for those of us who don't know this person or why he was banned? He mentions on Twitter that he was banned from Discord for excessive cursing. I'm not clear what the point of this is.

Agreed, there is not enough context to even know why this is newsworthy. Why should we care?

I recognize him for his efforts to bring Go to the enterprise world with https://gokit.io/ https://gokit.io/ and public speaking, rooting for Go, when Go was not as prominent as it is today. I don’t know the reasons why he got banned, but it feels irritating to ban such a prominent figure.

  Now I saw the google docs content and don’t feel irritated any more. Seems like a rational decision.
