Funny. People being childish and mean spirited for their own petty complexes is how I would describe the response. They couldn't just let it slide. The idea that intent doesn't matter, and the most hysterical reaction should be validated, is a recipe for feedback loops of drama and cluster B.

Who raised these children? How do they function in the real world, if their response to some snark is to set up a massive campaign to discredit the person responsible and ban them from a community? This is a whole kitchen of pots calling the kettle black.

Luckily this is only about Go. It could've been about a programming language with a future, taste or any good ideas whatsoever. That would've been a shame.
