I have no idea what happened let alone who was at fault, but please let's not repeat the drama here.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14240207 and marked it off-topic.

I shouldn't have brought this discussion here. I was angry after being banned (in my opinion for asking a legitimate question) and did try to spread the drama. That wasn't the right thing to do.

I was also banned from the pfsense subreddit for same reason.

Their employees are major tripping. I asked them a simple question, why do we need AES-NI hardware crypto if we don't use VPN's or anything that uses AES? And he refused to answer then banned.

Honestly I do not want to use it anymore and I shant be recommending it anymore to anyone.

No, you were incredibly rude to use and that's why you were banned. I suggest you share full screenshots if you're going to create drama.

At this point my advice would be for you guys to just leave it be. Stand up and walk away from the computer and go watch a movie for the night. You've made your call on this issue, you have unspecified "plans" and unless you care to reveal them or you care to change your stance on this issue there's nothing more to say or do here. You just need to let the anger blow over.

You don't gain anything by further antagonizing users at this point. And from your stance here - you don't actually want these people as users, correct? Essentially you've decided that these users are so-called "devil customers" - they're not profitable and you want them out of your clientele.

That's why you're essentially hardforking away from their hardware. So their opinions are no longer relevant to you, are they? As such this is literally a no-win move for you, the only thing it can do is hurt your business's image.

Just walk away, this isn't a good look for you guys.

I shared full screenshots of my own comments, except of the mod mail.

You deleted your own posts. This is the archive of some of them: https://archive.fo/pBoAY

I don't have an archive of the deeper posts, but they weren't particularly pleasant.

He deleted all the posts. His own, yours, that other guys. The whole comment chain. You may have to log out to see your own comments erased.

Thank you for sharing the mod discussion screenshot.
