dang, if you happen see this, why is user berntb shadow-banned? I see some political opinions that I happen to disagree with in his history, but nothing in the past ~20 pages of his comments worthy of shadow-banning. In fact, I see some high-value comments of a technical nature, such as this post.

Assuming my interpretation of this situation is reasonable, could you please consider his account for un-shadow-banning?
