I think these long ban times are sort of poking fun with the Singularity as well. If we eventually do hit the singularity before maybe 2070 or so, it’s reasonable to expect some of us to live practically forever (as software, or cyborgs (not forever, but there’s a decent chance of living till all the stars burn out)).
From that standpoint, getting banned for a few hundred years isn’t that particularly long.

I’m delighted at the search function @codinghorror has here. Most of them are flat-out useless, but this one works. You can even type a search and wait for the auto-populated answers and middle-click one. I love that.
