Although I think you and I would have several disagreements on the AI topic, I will put my vote in, to the extent anyone cares, that a ban was not justified in this case. There are things you’ve written that annoy me or that I’d have said differently, but in general I don’t think these are anywhere close to warranting a ban (or frankly the level of downvotes some of your comments have gotten). I also think in several discussions you’ve been involved in that went unproductively, the people you were responding to or who responded to you are at least equally to blame and sometimes have behaved worse, including clearly uncivil behave (e.g. clearly intentionally insulting phrasing, unreasonable accusations of bad faith etc.).
