"we've had to ask you this sort of thing a ton of times. Eventually we ban such accounts"

No you haven't. What's wrong with calling out bad products for what they are?

You replied to several of these at the time, but perhaps a refresher will be helpful:

The problem isn't "calling out bad products", though I wouldn't use the phrase "calling out", since the online callout/shaming culture is something we try to avoid here. Thoughtful critique is obviously welcome.

The problem is that you have a long history of breaking the site guidelines by posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments. If you can't or won't stop this, we will ban you, so please stop.

You'd get better response if you gave reasons for your statement. You may be right that this test is complete trash, I suspect many people here would agree.

The top comment on this thread says that Myers Briggs is complete trash

The difference is they defend their assertion, and that post led to a very interesting discussion from both sides.

The article and the comments generally lead me to believe that there is correlation between MB and "Big 5", there is little from the tests that is actionable, but that's because of argued points one way or another, not be stating it's "complete trash"

Likewise, if you think rackspace is overpriced, or the customer service is lacking, perhaps some examples would get a better response. Why even post the statement if you aren't going to defend it? Is it to try to persuade people that rackspace is awful? You won't persuade anyone without a reason.

Something like "Rackspace is overpriced trash as they charge $500 for a 1U colo and my server had frequent outages, where BobRackInc charge $100 and has never had downtime" would, despite being an anecdote, at least open up the conversation.
