No Comma

"Ouch!"
A comma's perfectly fine, as normal people on reading that sentence, pause at that point. Of course, you could remove the two commas in my previous sentence also, but it cuts down on the readability. The real problem is that the thing just has just too many long descriptive clauses. Removing fluff gets you:
"Kohs offers a point of view that is so antithetical to the community that his user account is banned." This
still benefits from a comma after "community."
If you want such an ornate sentence to be understood at first pass, you need even more commas, actually.
"Kohs offers a point of view, and way of expressing it, that is so antithetical to the sensibilities of the Wikimedia community and governance structure, that his primary User account is banned from nearly all WMF projects."
