I think this assertion and the various sentiment around it is nonsensical and partly demonstrates why "they" were actively moderating as they attempted to have a rational discussion about a topic with human beings online.
Some of the moderator decisions were stupid; many were not ("You can stick your telemetry where the sun doesn't shine" is no doubt sincere but it's not LKML I suppose); much of it seems to have been attempting to keep stuff organized and not-repetitive.
This article from The Register [1] has a good general overview, and it leads you to the GitHub discussion [2]. Searching for "bad faith" and "conduct" in that thread yields some results, but not strong enough for me to agree with the poster. There are hidden comments too, but not enough nor eloquent enough (IMHO) to support the claims of bad faith.
