Well, in US law they might not be.

But in other countries, is more complicated than that.

In Brazil, those kinds of bans behaviors are not ok under consumer protection laws, and also their TOS where they don’t guarantee anything even for paid accounts is definitely not ok and suable for damages if something happens.

Good luck. You know that there are some optics to how responsive you are to these comments, and how un-responsive you are to comments that asked you to say more about what your "controversial comments" were. I'm beginning to think they might not just have been about ad blockers.

> I'm beginning to think they might not just have been about ad blockers.

Did the first line about regretting the comments not indicate that pretty clearly?

I really don't want to accuse you of being deceptive for rhetorical effect, but are you actually "beginning" to think this? Am I completely misreading your comments?

Edit: This comment was a waste of space and I didn't express myself well but I was half a minute too slow on the delete button.

It's not at all clear to me what the comments were, and I don't think the level of regret matters really at all to the analysis. If I punch you in the nose, I will surely regret it moments later, but that isn't going to save me much trouble.

I said in another comment, most of the comments were on the Python extension repo for Vscode, about the quality of the extension and feature choices, many people were criticizing as well, and the trend of moving towards closed source.

You keep saying that but haven't described any of the comments in anything but the vaguest terms - so vague that the descriptions alone sound like an implausible basis for a ban.
