Another user/developer banned from GNOME's bugzilla without any warning

Whatever happened outside bugzilla should have stayed outside bugzilla. In GNOME's bugzilla I always provided value, and to ban me because of a couple of comments that have nothing wrong is overkill.

Do you think it would be fair if a judge ordered jail time because you didn't clean the dishes? No. Domestic issues are domestic issues, and criminal issues are criminal issues.

But good riddance, I'm better served helping projects that don't ban a person just because (s)he has a different opinion. Like Linux, and Git.

No but would it be reasonable to be fired from a job if one was causing inconvenience to their higher-ups elsewhere so much that they didn't want to work with you? Probably.

Edit: not saying I think you should have been banned for this because frankly, I think you were right to begin with, just pointing out that your legality comparisons are not always reasonable.

Maybe, but it would be illegal. Just like it would be illegal to send me to jail in Mexico, for something I did in Turkey.

It would not be illegal in many countries/states for both the job and jail scenarios depending on what crime you had committed.
