Note that we only know one side of the story. Maybe the author has a history of stirring up drama and coming up with topics not interesting to the rest of the community (i.e. anything other than programming). If so, preventing further impact on the community is exactly the right response.

Given the post and especially the authors comments on the blog, this seems probable.

EDIT: I mean, the author definitely knew that this is the thing that brings hate mobs on twitter, so by this blog post, he wanted to start a harassment campaign.

I can understand why they would kick out toxic people like that.
