It speaks to why he might have been banned, which is the context of this thread.

We shouldn't have to speculate as to why he was banned, as the CoC requires communication to him about why. If they're breaking CoC to get rid of the guy (and likely because the CoC prevented them from doing so in the past), it's hard to justify no matter the reason.
And to be frank, filippo's contribution to this thread places a clear reason why- drew was incredibly rude in the second link, but his arguments were not bad faith. He clearly meant everything he said, and I would even argue that he was right, although his method of engagement was unacceptable.
More importantly, the exchange was 3 years ago, and the more recent exchange showed him engaging exactly how I would expect a professional to. If the 3 year old exchange is the best filippo could find, it indicates that drew has changed his tactics for the better. So why the ban?
It seems like the only solution suggested there is one that makes the "small fish" service less useful as a go repository. I'm not surprised he didn't like it.
