I think one of the reasons that the editing of posts by /u/spez is considered such a betrayal is that we view these forums as owned by the contributors and the community at large. It's seen as an invasion that he has such an authority (of course he did but we like to imagine he doesn't). However, this expectation, that power won't be used to further personal vendettas, applies just as much to the moderators of /r/golang and the Go team as it does to the reddit admins. To me, the decision to throw away a community of some 25 thousand people on a whim seems to be just as big a betrayal of trust. To betray the golang community in such a way, in order to protest the reddit admins betrayal of the reddit community as a whole seems a bit hypocritical.
