Agreed, there is not enough context to even know why this is newsworthy. Why should we care?

I recognize him for his efforts to bring Go to the enterprise world with https://gokit.io/ and public speaking, rooting for Go, when Go was not as prominent as it is today.

I don’t know the reasons why he got banned, but it feels irritating to ban such a prominent figure.

Now I saw the google docs content and don’t feel irritated any more.

Seems like a rational decision.
