BANNED. Reason? "Concern trolling"  :palm: :-DD :-DD - that’s their pet phrase, as it happens - any reference to their moderation failings, on Google, finds this phrase mentioned again and again.

"We are great, all critics are out to get us". Well, yet another case Elizabeth Holmes mentality :-DD
That seems typical of people who spend too much time on the orange forum and actually take it seriously.

Our director does work for Broadcom

It's amusing that a lot of people claim the RPi "community" is great. ::)

I guess that's because they're almost all "makers"...

I am a "maker", I make a mess, I make dinner... et cetera.

I know of some sellers have a short warranty and try to put the onus on the manufacturer after a certain amount of time and I think one of them was Ebuyer many years ago.

Don't suppose you have a screenshot of what you posted?

This would entirely depends on where in the world you are. For example, in Australia, it would be perfectly reasonable for a consumer to go direct to a manufacturer for a warranty issue, in fact, it's a legislated right. Here, the consumer can choose whether to go to the original place of purchase or the manufacturer of the product to claim a remedy. Neither can fob you off to the other, that's illegal. It also applies to companies based overseas who conduct business or sell their products in Australia, they are still bound by Australian Consumer Law. These are consumer rights that cannot be waived away through a contract, terms of sale or any other fine print.

There have been several high profile cases involving some big companies such as Apple who have breached their responsibilities under ACL. It's actually quite a powerful bit of legislation.

There's an old saying that goes something like:

"Never try to teach a pig to sing!  It wastes your time and annoys the pig..."

Just walk away!  Save on all the aggravation.
