Your ban seems like one of two things:
The person or bot didn't understand you were being sarcastic (hell, even I'm not 100% sure)
The person or bot didn't receive (or bother to check) the context, which hints at the above
Sarcastically stating something is a dangerous game, and you got burnt.
I feel like it's maybe the most obvious sarcasm in history. Like, it shouldn't take more than a middle school level reading comprehension to understand that I'm pointing out how a so-called "originalist" can arbitrarily hold beliefs about the meaning of the text that are in direct contradiction to the literal written text.
I shouldn't have to add a /s when I say something that's obviously wrong
Ah, the mantra of everyone who's ever had their satire/sarcasm mistaken for sincerity.
Again, you played with matches, you got burnt. That's the risk for the fun you signed up for.
