Hanlon's Razor - prekrasnoyemirai - 10-01-2023

I saw the following ban message on someone's account: "The user is banned permanently for the following reason: Hanlon's Razor." What does it mean?

Probably given to someone that was mistaken for being mean, when acting stupid. A lot of the older ban reasons are less descriptive/formal.
