> In my opinion and experience, ReCAPTCHA isn't really, really obnoxious most of the time.

Do you use any sort of privacy protection while browsing? I do a few simple things like browse in private mode by default, and ReCAPTCHA just cannot deal with it. It instantly brands my connections as a bot. It is obnoxious. Using private mode shouldn't ban you from the web. There's no reason that most web sites need to save data on my computer to identify me later.

That's an excellent question! I can, and do, routinely use privacy protections when browsing.

I have not found them to ban me from the web. I'm sorry that has happened to you.
