Yeah, I figured you got it, and my comment was not directed at you. However, in the few minutes this post has been up there's a lot of blame going towards Uber, which is what I wanted to call out.
Yeah, no worries, I completely agree this is not Uber's fault at all. Their reasoning is more than valid.

You're still publishing the tool you used to 'attack' the Uber API, might want to take that down if you're serious about not causing Uber harm.
Maybe Uber should implement the necessary rate limiting.
They did. Since it was a non public API he was abusing they just rate limited him to zero.
I feel that I should keep it up just for reference and educational purposes. This was in no way an attack, but a mere hack that was created in 24 hours. It was not intended to be damaging to the service, although I do take responsibility that it was.
So you knew you would get banned, but you are also upset at getting banned, because you use ht service? Why did you out up a website then?
I completely agree with why they banned me, it's a huge load to throw on the server. Although I'd love to be unbanned and use it again, I would be surprised if I was.
Thanks for the advice to communicate before, definitely seems like the correct approach.
