No. You have repeatedly broken terms of service and suggested that apps and
developers were doing wrong, and did so with no evidence. You are the one who
has pointed to your behavior as you do that. This has resulted in you getting
banned. It is frustrating for you, sure, but it does not mean you have gotten
closer to some deep "truth" about them... you have to face you have an issue
with repeatedly asking about apps and developers in ways that are not
appropriate.

I have gone there on your request in the past. Nothing there of much interest
to me. No reason to assume anything nefarious.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
