worth noting, at the end of christine's update mentioned above:

"I do not plan to make any future update posts about the V programming language in the future. The V community is something I would really rather not be associated with. This is an edited-down version of the post that was released last week (2020 M06 17).

"As of the time of writing this note to the end of this post and as far as I am aware, I am banned from being able to contribute to the V language in any form. I am therefore forced to consider that the V project will respond to criticism of their language with bans. This subjective view of reality may not be accurate to what others see."

for anyone considering getting involved, read christine's three articles on the topic first: https://christine.website/blog/series/v

Would be helpful is Christine gave some examples to threads and discussions. Without any details, either side can be blamed for the ban.

Also, would be good to know what are the contributions. I have looked at the github page of V contributers https://github.com/vlang/v/graphs/contributors and have not find Chrinstine there.

I don't know if I have any copies of it anymore, because it was deleted from the V Discord. Once they found out I was the author of that post everything was deleted and I was banned from the Discord, Telegram and GitHub.

Even if they banned you from GitHub, they did not rewrite git history, I hope? I have not found any commits authored by you in the V repository:

  git log | grep Author: | egrep -i '(christ|xe)' | sort | uniq
   116 Author: Alexey <alex.esprit@gmail.com>
     1 Author: Alexey Lustin <allustin@users.noreply.github.com>
     1 Author: Bryan Christopher Johnson <bryanchristopherjohnson@gmail.com>
     1 Author: Chris <chris@suletuxe.de>
     1 Author: XeGrox <52340924+XeGrox@users.noreply.github.com>
I was banned before I could contribute to the repo.
