After reading that python discussion I have a very hard time believing the suspension was warranted unless there are some major factors i'm missing. It looks like a relatively cordial discussion yet in the suspension notice his posts are framed as having created "an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty and doubt".
I can't believe the offensive word / slur that is mentioned is the word "slut", which was said in reference to a pypi package that was removed back in the day. He even censored the word and made the SNL reference so that people would know what the word was. So according to the suspension notice the following comment was showing lack of empathy to the community members, which is just wild to me: "It was about kicking a package off of PyPI, because its docs repeatedly used a word that Dan Akroyd used to apply to Jane Curtin (brilliant comic actors from America’s “Saturday Night Live” TV show, but back in the days when it was genuinely funny".
