I don't know who any of these people are, but if that guy acts like that often, I'm glad he's been banned. I _hate_ when people dismiss questions as simply invalid without any explanation as to why it's invalid. How does that help anything? What are you even doing on a golang slack if you're just going to "troll" people for asking questions about golang?

Yup, the inquiring user was pointing out a very confusing situation in the Go stdlib wrt. the handling of time, and also doing so in a very kind and reasonable way. Even if the documentation was technically accurate, the very fact that this kind of confusion can arise wrt. such a technical topic is a serious defect. The guy's reply is seriously unprofessional, and it's good that the golang folks are very clearly distancing themselves and disclaiming any endorsement of this kind of behavior.
