No, you were banned for being rude and obnoxious. Had you stopped at "Oriental is not an offensive word", individuals may have downvoted you to express their disagreement, but I doubt you would have been banned.

The hypersensitive PC social justice crap is so wearisome." It's the insult in this second part that went over the line. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12698197 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12698197
