Other guy was just trying to understand how something works and troll activates enourmous passive aggressive defense mechanism because he doesn’t like being disagreed with
Rightly so by looking at this “conversation”.

You're not at a bar, you're not with your friends. Don't Be a Dick. A lot of us grew up in IRC, and this behavior existed then, but hey, you're not anonymous anymore. The world / internet has moved on. Follow along (or face the consequences. I wouldn't work with Peter if you doubled my salary. I would actively avoid Peter in any technical setting).
What seemed to trigger Peter is someone who knows something much much more deeply than he does. He tried to initially engage, and quickly found himself out of his depth, and reverted to being childish. This is why you wouldn't want to work with Peter. That level of insecurity is taxing on a team.
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.
