I said in another comment, most of the comments were on the Python extension repo for Vscode, about the quality of the extension and feature choices, many people were criticizing as well, and the trend of moving towards closed source.

You keep saying that but haven't described any of the comments in anything but the vaguest terms - so vague that the descriptions alone sound like an implausible basis for a ban.

    You were reported for saying something about open source and github banned you for it? This still doesn't seem to add up at all. How many comments are we talking about? Did they contain, oh, I dunno, slurs? And again, you can paraphrase the comment(s) which you seem to remain very reluctant to do.

      No slurs. No offenses. No bad words, no cursing, etc. I’m not going to paraphrase because the threads were erased. I don’t have most of the comments actually. Mail me at my username at duck.com and I’ll send you the handles of the account, you can search GitHub yourself.

        If the comments are as boring as you're suggesting they are, you don't have a real problem. Tell your manager what happened and work with them to arrange an account you can use.
