It's relevant to the issue of the ban, which is what the (sub)thread is about. I think the reason it was posted was to demonstrate a pattern, and I think that's pretty relevant.

Every single disagreement I've had with Drew escalated and I don't think that's my fault since it never happens with anyone else (Never? Well, hardly ever) and I've seen it happen with various other people too. Not that I'm perfect by any means or couldn't have done things better, but there's certainly a pattern here.

As for the actual issue at hand: I mostly agree with Drew, however, I don't really have enough information to be sure here, and Drew has misrepresented things in the past and does so here in this post (a reader unfamiliar with Go would be left assuming that Go "phones home" just for the sake of "phoning home" after reading this article, which is really a misrepresentation IMHO), so there's not a lot of trust here (again, a pattern).
