I'm less inclined to "both sides" this one. The ganging up included admins. I get they're humans, but this seemed to me to be a pretty petty thing from people outside the community that got the admins involved in the first place and then the admin applied a double standard as a wave of other .world users continued to dogpile on. Emotions aren't really an excuse for being a jerk. Most of the other reasons for being a jerk aren't really great either.
