They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    Wow. That is about the tamest comment that’s ever gotten someone banned.

      I’ve seen worse for just for putting criticism in threads asking for user’s “questions, concerns, requests and issues”. And at the admin level, in a major instance where they never really apologized or corrected themselves until a couple of months later without really assuming any blame.
